Electric Car Breaks 500 Mile Barrier

The arguments against an electric car are growing fewer. A vehicle in development by ECOmove – a consortium of Danish car builders – has unveiled a car that can travel 500 miles without refueling. Once a sticking point for electric vehicles, distance could be ticked off the list of grievances the driving populace has with electrics. Fuel prices have moved drivers to turn to hybrid and clean diesel but advances in electric technology could signal the rise of electrics as a space for entrepreneurs and established companies alike. ECOmove’s car, the QBEAK, can reach 75 miles an hour, uses electric motors and a fuel cell that converts a bio-methanol and water mixtur into electricity, which charges the battery.
