The Subaru G4e is a triangular-bodied electric car concept with an aluminium chassis, powered by next-generation lithium-ion batteries stored under the floor.
Subaru claims the car would have a 125-mile range per charge, thanks to its light weight, aerodynamic shape and high-performance batteries. That's double the range of the R1e electric car jointly developed by Subaru and the Tokyo Electric Power Company.
A full recharge at home takes eight hours, but it's designed to also accept a 15-minute quick charge if you're running low.
Although it's small enough to fit into Japan's compact car class along with the Nissan Cube, Subaru claims there's room for five in the G4e.
