This car claims to be fun from the get-go, which means it had better not disappoint. I'll believe anything once. The Fun from Ecos Motors (Electric Cars of Springfield) looks like it'd be fun for the whole family. The Fun reportedly tops out at 70 mph and has a range of 100 miles. The Fun costs $25,000, which may or may not be a steep price to pay depending on how much you love off-roading and the environment.
