General Motors has announced a demonstration project to explore market needs and consumer acceptance of battery electric vehicles in Korea. The project involves a fleet of electric vehicles based on the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze BEV, which has been developed by GM Daewoo and LG, will be able to run 100 miles on a single charge.

The Cruze EV features a 31KWh battery that generates maximum power of 150KW. The vehicle can hit 60mph in just 8.2 seconds with a maximum speed of 102.5mph. On a standard household 220-volt outlet, the Cruze EV can be fully recharged in 8 to 10 hours. While battery packs often occupy trunk space, the Cruze EV’s battery pack is mounted on the underbody. This gives the Cruze EV the same trunk space as conventional vehicles with gasoline engines.
