Visionary Vehicles is working on a less expensive but still plush plug-in sedan that Bricklin hopes to have on U.S. roads by 2010. His proposed EVX/LS would be the size of Mercedes' flagship S-Class sedan but would also be able to travel 40 to 50 miles on pure electricity. It would sell for $35,000.
New York-based Visionary Vehicles signed a deal with Ontario-based Electrovaya last week to supply lithium-ion batteries to its cars, and Bricklin said he hopes to announce a U.S. location for manufacturing in the next few months. He's also lining up dealers who could sell his cars as well as other vehicles from startups that want to use his battery technology.
Bricklin, who originally planned to sell Chinese vehicles in the United States starting in 2007 but backed out of that deal, said he was won over by the potential of plug-in hybrids.
"When I say I'm building a car that's the size of a Mercedes S, will get 100 miles to the gallon, has unlimited range and sells for under $40,000...to a man it's, 'Put me on the list. I want to buy it,"' he said.

Visionary Vehicle's Malcolm Bricklin was also on hand in Detroit to announce that his company and lithium polymer battery maker Electrovaya will form a separate company to build batteries for his electric hybrid called the EVX, which he is hoping to produce in 2009 and sell for under $35,000.
