context_page_description: The Subaru R1e was a battery-electric microcar produced by Fuji Heavy Industries, first shown at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept was jointly developed to prototype form with Tokyo Electric Power, the giant Japanese utility company. At least 40 prototypes were built by FHI and tested by TEPCO and the New York Power Authority. The vehicle had a range of 80 kilometres and a top speed of 100 km/h.
context_section_description: The R1e used a laminated lithium-ion battery which was developed by NLE, a joint venture established by FHI with NEC. The design goal was for 80 kilometres (50 mi) of city driving range using a designed capacity of 8 kW-hr with a top speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), and a battery life goal of retaining at least 80% of initial capacity after seven years or 70,000 kilometres (43,000 mi).
  Measured performance of the battery pack included a recharge capability to 80% capacity in eight minutes with a special rapid charger using 200 V, or to 100% charge in eight hours on a standard 100 V plug. Battery life is at least 10 years or 209,000 kilometres (130,000 mi).
  TEPCO planned on producing 150 fast-charge stations.
