Earth Techling just announced the debut of the Scion iQ EV in the US for 2013. The iQ EV is powered by a "newly-developed high-output lithium-ion battery," with an estimated range of 50 miles on a full charge, a three-hour charge time and extra charge via regenerative braking.

It has three drive modes that exchange between performance and energy conservation. The interior has a black and white color scheme with accents that are both metallic and ice blue. The iQ EV has a leather-wrapped steering with and a "strongly-contoured center console." A seven-inch display screen in the iQ has an HDD navigation system, audio information and vehicle information.
