Design
Four doors and a red-and-white interior
The G4e name is intended to stand for "Green for the Earth."[2] The car seats five and has a wedge design with a low 0.276 drag coefficient, aided by the deletion of wing mirrors in favor of a-pillar mounted rearview cameras.[2] Batteries are stored under the floor to maximize passenger space.[1][3] The interior is trimmed in red and white, with a dashboard incorporating a large video screen in the center stack intended to be reminiscent of a waterfall.[4]
Technical
It has a range of 200 kilometres (120 mi) and can be fully charged in about eight hours from a home AC power source. A quick charge to 80 per cent of the batteries' capacity is possible in just 15 minutes.[2][5]
Subaru vanadium lithium-ion battery
The G4e uses a lithium-ion battery developed exclusively by Subaru which employs vanadium technology to allow the battery to store two to three times more lithium ions than conventional lithium-ion batteries.[2][6] The car's battery pack provides 346 volts.[1]
