R5 Elektro
Our R5 Elektro has been built as one of two prototypes by a group of enthusiasts led by Miro Zoric. This is the only Slovenian car that has ever been shown at Geneve motor show! After Renault refused the project the car has been used by Zoric family and in 2005 when the lead acid batteries died, it has not been on the road any more. By the help of vando Arsov we have completelly rebuilt it in 2008 and installed LiPo batteries in april 2009. Now it is a fully functional little car with astoinishing performances. Top speed is 135 km/h, range is 150 - 180 km and average measured power consumtion 135 Wh/km - measured at socket with charger losses included
