Ecotricity converts second-hand Lotus Exige to make Britain's first electric supercar

dale vince all electric supercar
An eco-nerd from Gloucestershire, Dale Vince, who also owns wind energy company Ecotricity has built himself Britain’s first electric supercar. Dubbed the Nemesis, the total cost on building this car is nearly £1million. And what’s so unique? Nemisis is powered by 330bhp engine and can race from a standstill to 100mph in a stunning 8.5 seconds, which is faster than V12 Ferrari. The first road-going British built electric supercar is the result of acumen from a team of engineers who had been involved in various iconic British vehicles including the McLaren F1 supercar and DeLorean.
