                              motor and lithium-ion batteries |    The Magna Steyr mila ev which was revealed at the 2009 
                        Geneva motor show was the third concept to be unveiled 
                        by Magna Steyr. Previous concepts included the MILA 
                        and MILA 
                        roof system.
 
 The Magna Steyr mila ev is an electric powered city car 
                        concept which has been designed from the ground up to 
                        accept a fully electric powertrain.
 
 The platform on which the mila ev is based is a thoroughly 
                        developed concept which can be used for production-vehicle 
                        development immediately and thus for series production 
                        in the shortest of time  as a genuine electric vehicle 
                        or, thanks to the flexible design, with natural gas, fuel 
                        cells or hybrid drive.
 
 The exterior styling of the mila ev has been designed 
                        to convey a sense of futuristic elegance. One of the more 
                        unusual styling elements of the concept is the connection 
                        which has been made between the headlight assembly and 
                        the side windows. The blue strip which runs along the 
                        doors and around the rear of the vehicle acts as a display 
                        panel to clearly show the level of power left in the batteries.
 
 The Magna Steyr mila ev is driven by a 67 hp electric 
                        motor supplied by lithium-ion batteries developed by Magna 
                        Steyr. At an average charging time of 2.5 hours, ranges 
                        of up to 150 km (93 miles) can be achieved.
