Looking for an electric car that you can actually purchase today? Sure, there's the Tesla Roadster, but that car costs over a hundred grand. How 'bout a new four-wheeled electric vehicle that can be had for just $25,000? Sound more like what you've been waiting for? Good news, then. Joining the Mission One in Neiman Marcus' Christmas Catalog is the fully-electric Cupcake Car.
We don't think the Cupcake Car has any real safety systems built in, but with a top speed of seven miles per hour, how much trouble could you really get into? There's a 24V battery pack and electric motor inside a (hard candy shell) body fashioned from sheet metal, wire, fabric and wood. All that's left is to choose your favorite toppings. And look how much fun they can be.
If the Cupcake Car isn’t your cup of tea, you can get a limited-edition Mission One electric motorcycle for $73,000 or an Icon A5 airplane  complete with training for two people  for $250,000.
The Mission One is a sweeter ride than the Cupcake Car; it recently set a land-speed record for electric motorcycles when it topped 150 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Cupcake Car, on the other hand, has a top speed of 7 mph.
