Atlanta, Georgia-based Wheego is taking $100 reservations for the all-electric Wheego Whip LiFe car on the company website. The highway-ready Whip LiFe can travel about 100 miles per charge, and retails for $32,995 — which drops to a sticker price of $25,495 once the federal tax credit is applied. Other states, including California and Georgia, are offering tax credits and rebates to drop the price further.

“We are on schedule to be the first company to offer an affordable all-electric car in the US,” said Wheego CEO Mike McQuary. “Other auto companies have made announcements of the upcoming availability of their electric cars, but for the most part, their cars are being released in only a few cities, and in limited quantities. Our Wheego Whip LiFe will ship to customers first-come, first-served across the US beginning in September, and everyone who makes a reservation will be driving their car before the end of the year. The Whip LiFe has a lithium battery pack, is made of 75% US content, and is assembled in Ontario, California. It is an example of American ingenuity at its finest.” (Source: PR Web, June 15, 2010)
