In spite of its ongoing financial struggles, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs) managed to find a way to launch its prototype all-electric Saab 9-3 last week. Saab aficionados should immediately recognize its origins, as this new all-electric is a modified version of the 9-3 Aero Sedan.
Nevs has positioned the lithium-ion batteries below the passenger floor to preserve interior space for both passengers and luggage, which also helps lower the centre of gravity and provide an ideal 50/50 front/rear weight distribution for improved handling.
According to NEVS, the prototype 9-3, while still in the development phase, has 200 km of all-electric autonomy, can go from 0-100 km/h in 10 seconds, for a top-speed of 120 km/h. Nevs is quick to point out that the production vehicle will offer superior performance as development progresses.
