The cars, like the Toyota Yaris, look like any other until you peek under the hood.

Cerven says lithium powered cars are just as powerful as vehicles fueled by gas. For example, with ten packs of these lithium batteries, a PT Cruiser can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in seven point two seconds, rivaling the performance of a six cylinder, gas-powered car. A six-hour electrical charge provides enough power to drive the car nearly 200 kilometers.

If these cars were rolled out our on the fully automated production line, they should be able to get them cheaper, than having to do manual refits of the electric motor system.
