AMC Amitron

The AMC Amitron was an experimental electric subcompact car built in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC) and Gulton Industries. It included a number of advanced features, including regenerative braking and advanced battery designs, to provide 150 miles (240 km) range on a single charge. Development ended because of technology issues and the high cost of batteries. In 1977, the prototype was updated, and was re-announced by AMC as the Electron to become one of automaker's "Concept 80" show cars.
