Kalashnikov EV Not Yet as Fast as a Speeding Bullet

Kalishnikov is manufacturing an electric vehicle that goes zero to sixty in about six seconds with a 350 mile range. While it's not as quick as an AK-47’s muzzle velocity there is something about the Kalishnikov name that has a certain element of guerilla about it. One might expect the Kalashnikov EV to have some Aston-Martin Bond-like machine guns behind the headlights, yet one can’t have everything.


Luckily for Kalashikov, the U.S. Army hasn’t decided on a new combat rifle yet to provide a name for a Tesla EV competitor. The Tesla  Heckler and Koch G28 model doesn’t have much of a sound for sales. So the Kalashnikov EV has got the field to itself for a while in the electric vehicle field of car names with recognizable combat panache.
