The estimated cost to build??this prototype vehicle was $12,000 with half of that for the batteries and battery management system. The vehicle is designed for a top speed of 55 km\/h or approximately 34 mph. The 9.6 kWh battery pack consists of LiFePO4 batteries with a capacity of 200Ah @ 48V and the estimated range per charge is 200 km or 124 miles. The 4ekolka is expected to consume about 100 Wh compared to 200-300 Wh for most electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The expected market is for intra-city driving and as a secondary car. The designer is also investigating commercial uses. The vehicle is currently being tested on roads in Prague. <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2016\/10\/03\/the-4ekolka-an-impressive-3d-printed-all-electric-city-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more: ??Electrek.co<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 4ekolka is a 3D printed, electric powered vehicle out of Prague from Petr Chladek.
