Mitsubishi says that it is working on production electric cars, based on technologies in their CT concept (pictured). In addition to better lithium-ion battery technology, they are working with in-wheel electric motors. From Electro-plankton:
The other half of the equation is the amazing MIEV (Mitsu in-wheel-motors) system which places an electric motor in each wheel creating a car that’s basically transmission-less.
Imagine what we can do with interior design if the only mechancis we need to work around are computers and batteries, all of which can have custom profiles. (No more driveshaft hump)
