Solectria Sunrise vs. Sunrise EV2 -- a Comparison

The Solectria Sunrise cost $100,000 because it was designed to be mass produced in high volumes, but was actually hand made in low volumes. It was optimized for efficiency, not performance; and built around donor car parts that are now over 20 years old. There were also aspects that were unfinished, to be optimized later if/when full production could be achieved.

The Sunrise EV2 design has therefore been updated and improved in a number of areas. Here are the differences between the original and our version.
