Their newer electric four-passenger concept car recently achieved 244.8 MPGe in the robust EPA 5-cycle efficiency test at an EPA certified lab. Next-generation consumer prototypes are currently under build and testing. Most importantly, Edison2 has achieved a 2.5X reduction in the energy required to move a four passenger car.
