Why is this post all about cars? At HWM, we do have our own car nuts who love cars, and being technology lovers ourselves, the invitation to Detroit Electric's electric car introduction today was one of the greater pleasures in life when work meshes with our hobby. More details and videos to come in a later post!Pictures after the jump!

The test mule featuring a large battery pack beneath the car!

A Proton Persona example of an electric car. It was fitted with the 35kW motor though, limiting its top speed to 90km/h!

The battery pack in the Persona.

Check out the engine.....or lack of it. It's using a 4-speed version of the Persona gearbox

A Savvy was also outfitted with the electric kit

Check out the size of that motor! It only weighs 35kg!
