It’s the iconic “car of the Future;” Mr Fusion provided all your energy needs if you just threw some garbage in him. It traveled in time<\/em>. So it’s not so crazy that they’re returning in 2013 as electric vehicles. DeLorean Motor Company has long been defunct, however a Houstonian businessman, Stephen Wynne, has bought up all of the parts from unbuilt DMC-12s, and currently sells brand new cars for just shy of $57k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DMC<\/a> has just announced that they will partner with Epic EV<\/a>, a company that specializes in awesome electric vehicles, to power these potential time machines electrically. Epic EV has a history of awesome on- and off-road electric vehicles, as well as watercraft. If there’s two things I’d love to see combined, it’s a beautiful stainless steel car with a history of awesomeness and a company who knows how to really get power out of environmentally friendly cars. I mean, really, they can’t get any worse than the engine that came with the DMC-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VW also recently announced<\/a> that they’re bringing back an electric version of their hippie-tastic Microbus, but they did a little design upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
