SIM SIM-LEI-Drive electric car achieved 207-mile driving range in Japan

Manufacturers are constantly optimizing the driving range for electric vehicles, and sure enough, a Japanese startup recently had a breakthrough with his first prototype. Dubbed the SIM LEI, this cute four-seater from the SIM Drive sips juice from a Toshiba 24.9kWh lithium-ion battery and can go from zero to 100km / h (62 mph) in just 4.8 seconds, with a maximum speed topping at 150km / h (93 mph).







What's more impressive is that SIM-Drive to squeeze out a range of 333km (207 miles) on a JC-08 cycle (a standardized test, which simulates driving in crowded Japanese city traffic) managed by the LEI far ahead of his competitors on the chart - Nissan Leaf is about 100 miles, for example. Unfortunately, the mass production as late 2013, which can hopefully make up for the others to do something with this remarkable newcomer.
