Here are five futuristic EVs that are so rare you may not see them on the street anytime soon. 01.Nyobolt/Callum concept car<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0lOys6_0w0DSShH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0lOys6_0w0DSShH00" width="1920" height="1081" ></figure>A battery maker and a car designer have teamed up in Great Britain to create a sharp-looking EV with outstanding performance. Nyobolt has provided a power pack capable of charging from 5% to 80% in under five minutes. For its part, accomplished design firm Callum created a ride with a vintage feel suitable for James Bond — and the car has accomplished the goal of proving Nyobolt's battery ability during testing in England, as reported by the BBC. 02.Genesis X Gran Berlinetta <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3M4e0Z_0w0DSShH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3M4e0Z_0w0DSShH00" width="1920" height="1080" ></figure>The Berlinetta is part of Genesis' Magma lineup. The fiery orange concept in the promotional photos gives the impression that the EV was shot straight out of a volcano — presumably the designers' intent for the impressive offering from Hyundai's luxury brand. A stunning horizontal light scheme adds to the visual spectacle. While acknowledging speed and performance, Genesis said in its Magma marketing that Berlinetta is meant to bring more: "to kindle the joy of sporty driving with effortless comfort."03.Re-engineered Nissan Ariya<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=30mNTb_0w0DSShH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=30mNTb_0w0DSShH00" width="1920" height="1221" ></figure>This rugged EV has gone far beyond a concept. Scottish couple Chris and Julie Ramsey took this beefed-up SUV on a 17,000-mile trek from the North Pole to the South Pole in just nine months, a first for any vehicle. The re-engineered Ariya has big tires made for snow and other harsh conditions. It was built to run in frigid temperatures. CarBuzz noted that the EV sports a tow-behind wind turbine and solar panels, as well. 04.Nio ET9<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1NQdLo_0w0DSShH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1NQdLo_0w0DSShH00" width="1920" height="1080" ></figure>Reports from the spring noted that this unique, luxury-class EV could be delivered within a year. The spacious ride with an "executive bridge" inside has a $112,000 price tag, per Electrek. It can travel 158 miles on a five-minute charge. But that's all secondary to another unique ability: The ET9 can literally shake the snow off itself. 05.Honda's 0 Series<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3esh9Q_0w0DSShH00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3esh9Q_0w0DSShH00" width="692" height="650" ></figure>Honda can easily claim two slots on this list. Its upcoming 0 Series cars, the Saloon and the Space-Hub, look incredibly futuristic — especially the latter, with its giant rectangular rear lighting. James Reeves, the company's director of sustainability strategy for North America, told The Cool Down the brand is undergoing "a once-in-100-year transformation.""We wanted to rethink EVs themselves — what if we just started from scratch?" Reeves explained. "That's one of the references of the 0 Series: Let's start from zero. It's also a reference to our environmental goal of zero impact on the environment, and we've infused that into our design principles." </div></body>
