The Dodge ZEO lies somewhere between it's Jeep and Chrysler concept siblings in aesthetic terms. Like its siblings, the ZEO gets drive torque exclusively from an electric motor, although this one relies entirely on electrons retrieved from an external source and stored in the lithium ion battery pack. No range extender for this sports coupe, if you don't have it when you pull the plug, you can't make it up along the way. The nearly horizontal windshield would likely present some significant issues with distortion although unlike the Volt concept aerodynamics would probably benefit.
