Oooh, acpropulsion just did a press release - they finally did a LiIon version of the car (the original was lead-acid.) Shaved nearly half a second off the zero-to-sixty (3.7 now.)
"As a complete car, the Li-ion tzero has higher specific energy, in Wh/kg, than the RAV4 EV battery pack alone."
See also the New York Times article, linked from gizmodo. I bet it hasn't gotten any cheaper, though.
