The all-electric microcar is a single-seater powered by a 24 kW electric motor which draws its juice from a 6.5 kWh battery pack. It can travel for up to 110 km (68 miles) and reach a top speed of 120 km/h (74 mph). The Colibri tips the scales at just 440 kg (970 lbs) and features gullwing doors. It is 2.75 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 1.3 meters tall. Recharging the battery takes two hours when using a regular household outlet. It is scheduled to go into production towards the end of next year.

It’s a short range electric vehicle, unique, and could be available as soon as 2015. The reason I mentioned looking at our roads today is because we don’t fill up our cars when we take them for a drive. Most of the time, it’s just the driver, and think about the wasted space and fuel spent getting one person around! The IMA Colibri, which translates hummingbird, is a new concept vehicle in the ultracompact electric vehicle segment. The IMA Colibri seats just one person, the driver, and a little bit of cargo, and starts under 10,000€, or $13,000. The single seater electric vehicle has a top speed of 74mph and a range just under 70mi, which keeps it in town, but can be equipped with extras like air conditioning and tablet interface, something like the Tesla Model S. IMA is expecting to be able to sell some 17,000 Colibri each year starting with a late 2014 delivery date. There’s still a little bit of work to do, perfecting the electronics and such, but for under $13,000, it’s a pretty nice looking ride.

The lightweight, street legal vehicle is scheduled to enter production by late 2014 and in the first year around 17,000 EVs are expected to be produced at a price point of 10,000 Euro, with an additional monthly battery lease. “Our vision was to construct an electric vehicle suitable for daily urban use, one which is safe and also fun. It was to be economic, ecologic, and easy to combine with other modes of transportatColibri Electric Carion,” said Thomas delos Santos, CEO of IMA. We succeeded in achieving this. And the market feedback shows: the Colibri strikes a nerve.” Here are the specs: the Colibri measures of 2.75m length, 1.18m width and 1.30m height. A specially designed lifting mechanism eases entering and exiting, while pedals and steering wheel can be adjusted to suit drivers between 1.58m and 1.98m. The trunk offers enough volume for two crates. The lightweight frame is mounted on a magnesium-steel basis, reducing vehicle weight and energy consumption costs. The company anticipates the electric vehicle will pass all safety and crash tests. Two CPM Twin engines provide 24 kW peak power. The car reaches a top speed of 120 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds. Electricity for a range of 110 km is provided by a high-performance lithium-iron-phosphate battery from the company Axxellon. Its distinct features are a long lifecycle and short charging times.
