2010 set to be first year in European history to see mass rollout of an electric car, the Pininfarina B0. Set to first hit France, Italy, Germany, UK, Spain, and Switzerland - even talk of U.S. at later date. 10,000 models to be released in 2010, 20,000 in 2011, and 30,000 in 2012.

The fully electric car will be powered by a lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery, aside a supercapacitor that gives it quick acceleration. It is said to take several hours to charge the battery using a normal household electrical outlet. The battery is rated at 125K miles. Not only powered by a battery, but the car can also partially recharge itself through regenerative braking. Accessories are powered via the rooftop solar panels.

Pininfarina boasts the car has a top speed of 80mph, and will have a range of about 150 miles. The B0 will go for around $420 per month (lease), and even include roadside assistance.
