WHEEGO Technologies began as an electric car company, WHEEGO Electric Cars. The company was formed as a spin-out from Rough and Tuff Electric Vehicles (RTEV), a manufacturer of battery-powered recreational electric vehicles in June 2009, with Mike McQuary as CEO. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.[citation needed] In 2015, Wheego turned its attention to developing tools and systems for autonomous vehicles, and in 2016 the company name was changed to Wheego Technologies. Its name was changed again in 2018 to Autonomous Fusion.[1]
Wheego Electric Cars' first automobile was a two-seat compact car that was launched in the United States in August 2009, in partnership with Shuanghuan Auto.[2] The car is based on the "Noble" platform manufactured by Shuanghuan Auto, with final assembly, including the motor, drive train, controller, electronic components and programming, completed in the US.
The Wheego LiFe is a highway-capable version with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The Wheego LiFe began selling in April, 2011,[3] and ceased production in 2013. [4] The LiFe is a small sized car sourced from China, with electric drivetrain and batteries installed in California. It's driven by a 60 horsepower asynchronous induction electric motor attached to a 60 kilowatt-hour lithium battery pack. Priced at $32,995, it was marketed as a commuter car.[5] It became the third all-electric highway speed street legal car for sale in the U.S. after the Tesla Roadster and Nissan Leaf. It is electronically limited to 65 mph, and has an advertised range of approximately 100 miles on a single charge.[6] The LiFe can be recharged using either a standard 120 V connection or an industry-standard Level 2 Charging Station.
