Evelio (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

The K1 Evelio was a British-built electric supercar unveiled in July 2011 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Developed by Alex Letteriello and his small team in Andover, Hampshire, it was presented as one of the fastest electric cars of its day, achieving 0–60 mph in 3.2 seconds. The car used lithium iron phosphate batteries, chosen for their stability and safety, offering an average range of around 150 miles. Charging could be completed in about one hour, or to 80 percent capacity in 20 minutes using a 30-amp outlet. A notable feature was its early adoption of vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing the car to both draw from and return power to the electrical grid. The Evelio’s tubular steel chassis and lightweight fiberglass body were finished by hand, with a silver white metallic pearl paint scheme accented in matte black and red. Power output ranged between 150 kW and 200 kW, producing 220 Nm of torque. The top speed was initially limited to 95 mph, but the design projected a potential maximum of around 170 mph.
