Looking to beat all other major car companies to the punch, Tata (the largest car company in India) has announced that they'll be selling an all-electric vehicle in Norway in "less than a year."
The car will be based on the Indica (pictured above) which is already on the streets as a gas-powered car in India.
So it looks like the world's cheapest car (the Tata Nano) could soon be the world's cheapest electric car as well.
The price of the Nano is just above $2,500 and Tata's chairman Ratan Tata says he expects demand to exceed supply. Tata's plant in the city of Singur in the state of West Bengal will eventually have the capacity to make 350,000 Nanos a year.
As we noted a few weeks ago, Daimler is planning to get out of petroleum powered vehicles within the next 7 years. And one of the ways they are looking to do that is with a battery-powered version of the Smart car which, according to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, will be available in 2010.
In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency.
