Sadly the age of the Viper is over, but dodge hasn’t buried that aggressive look and muscle car feel in the basement yet. The Zeo’s performance level is closer to the Neon but its design offers a youthful look with the environmental responsibility of a Green Peace member (without all the screaming at Japanese whalers).
Similar to most gas-guzzling alternatives it runs on electric-only propulsion that charges its lithium ion battery pack. What happens when these cars break down and have to be disposed of? Are lithium ion batteries biodegradable? I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now the American car companies are struggling to offer green competition to their successful Asian counterparts in order to stay afloat.
Hey, at least they’re trying, and they seem to be getting the comfort thing right.
The Zeo has a roomy interior capable of holding four passengers all with their own point of entry. The sport-wagon look isn’t half bad either. Dodge heightened the flared-fenders to surround the extra-large rims and added well-positioned front and side air intakes.
Gigantic eight and ten cylinder beasts are barreling off in the desert sunset while these small vehicles built for our changing 21st-century are quietly filling the empty parking lots. The battery EV of the Zeo will take you over 250 miles and yep, you guessed it, emits only water vapor. The Zeo may end up only being a dream seeing how most EV concepts are five years from production and tagged at over $100K but there is no harm in thinking big and trying to bailout your company from loosing billions a year.
