DeLaSalle Electric Car
This new electric car is built by students from the DeLaSalle School in Kansas City, Mo., in collaboration with engineers from Bridgestone Americas’ Technical Center in Akron, Ohio. The DeLaSalle electric car has just completed testing on Bridgestone’s Texas Proving Grounds and its developers believe it may have set a new world record for efficiency.
The DeLaSalle electric car was built as a class project under the supervision of instructor Steve Rees. The DeLaSalle electric car is a plug-in electric built on the chassis 2000 Lola Indy Car.
The students have developed the DeLaSalle electric car’s driveline, electric propulsion system and the full, ultra light-weight aerodynamic body. Dressed with Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 tires, the DeLaSalle electric car managed to get during testing an efficiency equivalent to a 300 mpg fuel consumption.

I think it a great electric car.Electric cars help the environment by using the less fuel.Since an electric car runs off a battery charged from electricity rather than fuel from an internal combustion engine, it produces far less pollution than a conventional car as electric plants can more efficiently produce energy than internal combustion engines.
I have read about electrical problems on e-cars regarding Headlights problem and it is deeply more enrooted to the car’s central electronics as compared to regular gas-based cars.
