  • Why doesn't it have solar panels built into the roof, with only 50 mile range surley 8 hr charging while its parked would help you get home. I mean 50 miles range you have live close to work or you are not going to get home!

  • watch "who killed the electric car" documentary .. you will have some idea on your quesion

  • What a pile of crap. Uses lithium ion and only gets 50 miles to the charge. I can make a car just as ugly using lead acid that gets 50 miles a charge. Up yours suberu. In six more months we will all be able to buy ultra capacitors that will get us 200 miles to the charge. Up yours for every time you build an electric car purposefully making it so ugly that no one will buy it. Up yours car companys for destroying our independence with poorly marketing and designing these products.

  • I own a 2000 Ford Ranger EV NiMH...why are they saying they can't produce this now? They (the car companies) DID years ago!

  • ok y have electric cars? to save energy right? well,,, guess what..... in my area of the country electric comes from coal which the last time i checked is still a natural resource so it is still using up resources and with a range of 50 miles wtf is that i drive from pa to nc thats 500 + miles and haveing to chanrge every 50 miles that would suck big time so id rather have a gas car

  • Looks top heavy. Just breath and it flips over. (flashbacks of the Suzuki) I agree with the design issues. You're probably right,Arc91. I wouls still buy one if the price matched the convenience.

  • Very promising. I would definitely buy this if it gets produced at some point in the future.

  • I always ask my self whether car companies seem to believe that potential electric car buyers just don't want optically appealing cars, or if they spend so much money into the development of the technology so there's none left for a decent designer.

    Thumbs up for this cars specs, but the body sure is a bummer.
