Engineers managed to reduce the mass of electric cars and improved aerodynamics. There will be several modes of concept battery charging, and one of them requires only 10 min. Then LAMPO2 can travel 100 kilometers. Concept Car Protoscar LAMPO2 be equipped with solar panels, which will be located on the roof, and two electric motors. Their power is 354 hp

When fully charged, Protoscar LAMPO2 will travel 200 km and acceleration to 100 km / h takes just 5 seconds.
