The 2011 Wheego Whip LiFe - all electric car

[Dimitri0809]

I bet it handles just nicley.

[hamster700]

nobody is going to pay that for this car try $10'000

[johnnnyreb51]

Good luck selling it even with the $7500 back from the Gov. OVER priced!

[torrents4u2c]

This could only be a second car. If I needed(wanted) to take a trip I would have to have another car and I take trips all the time. Would I rent a car everytime I go over a hundred miles one way. The price is high. I could buy a subcompact and gasoline for 5 years for that price. In five years you would have to replace the batteries and that would cost a fortune. Enough for gas for another five years or a good down payment on a new subcompact. NO DEAL!

[jackmcslay]

That's one happy looking car

[SuperPittfan1]

Dum tree huffed

[ModernPatriotsUnited]

All these electric cars are expensive and small. how about an electric heavy duty truck or at least an suv.

[3089280288]

@TheSpinWorld There is a company in Massachusetts that has a kit for the Ford Explorer that will do the same distance as that base model Wheego.

[youngandcompany]

to much money are you guys crazy i would pay 10.000 dollars and no more come

[concacskyhater]

let give that car a wedgie

[ModernPatriotsUnited]

Why in god's name are these cars so expensive,yet so light on functionality? Don't give me that R&D crap. This tech has been around for decades.

[EpicFknBrutality]

@ModernPatriotsUnited Two words: Gasoline companies

[jackmcslay]

@ModernPatriotsUnited LiPo bateries aren't cheap

[tsbrownie]

Until the value (price / features) is comparable to gas powered cars, they are not going to sell many. $30K for a two seater, very light-weight, very limited vehicle is not appealing. Even with rebates, ditto for $23K.

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Semi vs wheego I pick the wheego

[commmy]

hahahaha...."everybody needs a Yugo sometime"

[sml411]

If I can have the A/C running at full power and be comfortable in 98 degree weather while sitting in traffic for 2 hours and still travel 120 miles round trip then I'll look a buying one. If our idiot law makers want another law then make them display miles per charge with the A/C running on maximum.

[maugustyniak]

Looks happy just existing.

[banacek8675]

Sounds too much like Yugo lol

[Chadolution]

Awesome electric car. I want one!!!!

[thecrism1]

When you trade or sell your Toyota camry get one of these for you next short trips and city commutes!

[my80chevette]

Actually this car is a two passenger, 70mph and crash tested vehicle. This is not a nev. This car should work well in most weather but of course the range is not really good for long commutes. Eighty to one hundred mile range is good for most peoples day to day use but you'll still need a gas car for longer ranges or moving more people. Not too bad but kinda pricey for a small car.

[sml411]

All electric cars need to give range while running full A/C and or heater. Otherwise the number is useless

[beancube2010]

Communities should train their local population about conversion kits and services instead. Current cars have better frame in case of collision. A/C heaters should be powered by optional alternative fuel. If you don't use them, the fuel should be able to recharge the battery for extending range easily as well. The corporate industry monopoly are not in favorite of electric cars because gasoline consumption and gasoline stock profits require no works and can be easily manipulated by wars.

[WheegoDenver]

This is a great video!

[shinaito]

Nice an OK car if your living in a place that never gets snow. max speed is something to be left desired i have highways that have speed limits of 70 so right off the bat its already got a problem. not meant for a car to have in the long run either since it probibly only seats 2 people. not a traveling car either since electric cars take a few hours to recharge so if you planning on going on a grand tour of the US forget it. for the price buy a honda that gets 35-40 mpg and sits 4.

[Scarface5766]

let's see it get on the highway

[wiccanmoonman]

I like it but no range. I'm buying a Honda CR-Z

[famousamosguy]

@throttlehard That's ok...i'm spending a lot less on gas than you are.

[sponserdsk8ter]

@jonnnyyb3 yea they are pretty high priced but it pays off. (its still pretty ugly though) maybe one day they will make electric cars more attractive and powerful. it isn't a death trap in most countries. it is in the U.S. because every feels the need to buy big ass f150's :-)

[ocachisu]

lmao i'm sorry but i just *can't* take that car seriously... lol

[jonnnyyb3]

any time I see a video like this, i think of obama telling us to get rid of our love for cars.

[sponserdsk8ter]

@jonnnyyb3 obama didnt invent this car....

[cloggy1974]

looks like the MICROCAR or AIXIM

[TBman256]
