The Blade Electron has been consigned to the history books but appears here because it was actually the first commercially available fully electric vehicle in Australia, going on sale way back in 2008.
Ross Blade is the pioneer behind this vehicle, and he built 50 Blades by swapping out the petrol engine and fuel tank of a Hyundai Getz with a 40 kW electric motor and 16 kWh battery pack. The result was a fully electric car that could travel up to 100 km and had a top speed of 120 km/h. Given only 50 were made, it would be very rare to see one on the road and even rarer to see one for sale.
