At an exclusive ceremony in South Korea, Hyundai unveiled the new BlueOn Full Speed Electric Vehicle (FSEV).

Based on the i10, the BlueOn measures 3,585mm long, 1,595mm wide and 1,540mm tall. It is powered by a 16.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery which powers an electric motor that produces 83 PS (61 kW / 82 hp) and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 13.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).

When the battery is depleted, after traveling 140 km (87 miles), a 220V household outlet can fully recharge it in six hours. If you can't wait that long, a 380V rapid charger will replenish the batteries 80% within 25 minutes.

Developed at a cost of 40 billion won ($34,254,000 / €26,935,000), Hyundai will give 30 BlueOns to various Korean government organizations so they can begin testing and improving the country's charging infrastructure.

If everything goes according to plan, 2,500 BlueOns will be produced by the end of 2012.

A news story last night said Federal incentives are $7,500 and TN State incentives are $2,500 for electric cars. $10,000 towards a car is quite an incentive, but they're still so damn expensive for what you're getting. You're ultimately paying the manufacturers to allow you to save on emissions. Granted, they have to make their investment back somehow, but the premium on these cars is way too high, and it's not feasible for Nashville because our urban sprawl is ridiculous. Several of our outlying cities are 30 miles from downtown Nashville, so unless you can EASILY get 65-75 miles out of a charge, in rush hour traffic, nobody here will consider them.

. . . nevermind the replacement cost of that battery, while you are still making payments on the car.
