Lately it seems that there isn’t a single day anymore when we don’t get the news about new electric cars. This time it is Hyundai, which is going to launch a full electric car already this November in New Zealand.

The plug-in electric car will be based on the Getz and according to Hyundai it is the first electric vehicle for sale in any volumes in New Zealand.

the car was developed by an engineer Ross Blade, and belongs to the retro-fit electric car segment, meaning that the batteries and electric motor are fitted to the car after the petrol engine is taken out. Production is expected to reach 200 units per year and it will be located in New Zealand.

Electric Getz will have a top speed of 120 km/h (74 mph) and a driving range between 120-200 km (74-124 miles) on a single charge. That is a lot more than most people drive daily and with the right price tag it would be a successful model anywhere in the world.
