Chevy’s Volt and Nissan’s Volt have both been on the market for several months now, but they are now joined by a third electric option from a little-known source, Wheego.
Wheego is an American automaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, which produces an all-electric vehicle known as the LiFe, of which it delivered its first copy to a customer today, which fittingly, is Earth Day. That first Wheego LiFe went to Kevin and Asma Henry who live in the Virginia Highland neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.
“The delivery of our first Wheego LiFe electric car culminates four years of research and development, and is perfectly timed to support President Obama’s Energy Plan,” said Mike McQuary, CEO of Wheego Electric Cars.
The LiFe is a fully highway-capable electric two-seat car that can travel up to 100 miles on a full charge thanks to a 115 volt lithium-ion battery pack that can either be charged in a standard 120V outlet, a 240V outlet, or any of the J1772 standard charging station outlets. Pricing starts at $32,995 before the $7,500 federal tax credit, or any possible state credits, making it price competitive within the segment.
The LiFe comes standard with passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes, power windows and locks and has available air conditioning. Available colors include red, white, blue, black, silver and green.
