A company called Advanced Mechanical Products (AMP) is able to convert a Saturn into a 100% electric car that can:

- 0-60 in 5.7 seconds

- 90 MPH top Speed (145 km/h)

- Zero Emissions 

- 150 miles per charge (about 240 km) 

- 1.5 hours for a 40 mile charge and 3.5 hours for a full charge from a 220-volt outlet 

Big automakers should take notice because the future in automobiles is more likely to be electric rather then anything else simply because its easier to maintain and costs less compare alternatives. Imagine, no more changing engine oil, transmission fluids, steering fluids. Also, no more going to the repair shop to check your engine, clutch, converters, noisy muffler, etc. In fact, AMP aren’t the only ones that are doing it. There are private citizens that are making their own conversions to electric vehicles (EV), just google it, there are entire tutorials on how to do it. Check out the AMP conversion test drive:
