The first experimental electric car developed under the Department of Energy's Near Term Electric Vehicle Program has been unveiled. The car, designed and built by Chrysler Corporation and General Electric, was developed from the ground up to advance electric vehicle technology. One observation for the four-passenger subcompact car, dubbed ETV-1, was that it could be mass produced for about $6400 (current dollars) by 1985. Globe Union, Incorporated developed the high-energy lead-acid batteries that will give a projected 100-mile driving range at 45 mph for ETV-1.
