Arcimoto is an ultra-efficient “autocycle” (officially) that gets the equivalent, in charge, of 230 miles per gallon. When founder Mark Frohnmayer first sketched his idea in 2007 for a 3-wheeled EV he was searching for an alternative to the car for all those quick trips to the store/mall/coffee shop, but he wanted something that would be fun to drive. His FUV (fun utility vehicle) provides an open-air experience with a semi-enclosed cabin, tandem seating, power-assist handlebars, and regenerative braking. Two front-mounted motors powered by a 20-kWh battery send it from 0 to 60 mph in . Arcimoto says the FUV battery range is 100 miles around town, about 66 miles at 55 mph. Its peak charge rate on a Level 2 charger is about 3.3 kW. It will fully charge in 4 hours on a Level 2 charger and 8 hours with a household 120-volt outlet. Frohnmayer’s concept is bigger than just the FUV and instead is focused on the chassis that holds the batteries and can be configured to provide alter
