For the display card on the example shown below:
Base vehicle 1996 Geo Metro
Top speed 110 km/h (68 mph)
Range 60 km (37 mi)-70 km (43 mi)
Three phase AC motor
Single speed gearbox
156 volt battery pack (thirteen 12 volt lead–acid gel cells)
I have never heard of these before. But seeing as about 400 were made 20 years ago explains that.
The prices seem high for the day, 26000$ base price to 60000$ for a two door with 120 mile range

Consider that a Chrysler TEVan was $120,000 at the time.

Thanks to an EV research binge a few years ago (shortly before I got my Leaf), I actually know what this is!
The Solectria Force was an attempt in the 1990s to bring electric cars into the mainstream - what the Nissan Leaf essentially did a decade and a half later. Solectria bought engineless Metros directly from GM and installed their own electric drivetrains. From what I’ve read, they were actually quite well loved by their owners, and a few were later converted to lithium batteries for more range. They can be hard to come by nowadays, but I’ve always found them fascinating. Imagine where EVs would be now if these things had caught on.
