Wheego has unveiled the Whip LiFe, an upgraded version of the company’s NEV at the Washington Auto Show. According to its name the zero-emission car is propelled by an onboard 28KWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack and will be available on the market later this year at a price of under $35,000.
The vehicle is currently undergoing crash testing with two cars being built to be sent into the crash chamber. The company has a 30-dealer network in the U.S. which will be displaying this new car sometime this summer. The vehicle has a top speed of 65mph and an operating range of 100 miles on a single charge.
