too expensive buy a prius its cheaper

[Odziz]

I want an electric car, not a wannabe ev like the Prius.

Absolutely Ridiculous! Why would you think for a nanosecond that a $50,000 37 mpg tricycle would be of interest to a rational person?

[Odziz]

I put the video up for the electric version, they just happened to mention the gas version.

If you want something more realistic for $30,000 then look at the Aptera Typ-1 300 MPG Hybrid, it even comes with doors!!!

What??? 37MPG!!! I was expecting 137MPG, Someone is bed buddies with big oil for sure, the original Geo Metro got 50MPG. If the gas version is so inefficient as a mini car I am skeptical that the EV will do any better.

For now I will keep my Chevy Astrovan that gets 16-20 MPG, save my $50,000 plus tax plus finance charges and just use that for gas money until something not so stupid comes along.

I will watch for the EV specs. By the way, the specs are always a lie, actual mpg is lower.
