NAIAS 2019 - GM Electrovair II

On display in the GM World Exhibit in the Renaissance Center, is the 1965 Chevrolet Electrovair II Concept! In 1966 dollars, the silver-zinc batteries that powered this car were over $150,000. The Electrovair II could go between 40-80 miles on a charge with a top speed of 80 mph, and would do 0-60 in 16 seconds, about the same as a standard Corvair. In addition to my photos, I am including a promotional movie from the 60s produced by General Motors about this car. What a treat to see this vehicle in person! If you’re by the RenCen, definitely check it out!
