Fastest electric cars : ZEOD RC



Now Nissan has revealed its prototype Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car (ZEOD RC) that will debut at next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans — and which the company claims is “the world’s fastest electric racing car” that can reach more than 186 mph.
But like Aston Martin’s hydrogen-powered Rapide, the ZEOD RC will also require gasoline to run, since current battery technology doesn’t offer the energy storage or fast-charging capability needed to complete 24 hours of racing in a pure electric car. Andy Palmer, executive vice president at Nissan, said that the driver would be able to switch between electric and gasoline operation on the fly.
