I only wish it had electric drive

[loremocom]

There will be an electric drive version at release.

Please EU, introduce a new class for this kind of super-economical cars (something like A++) and raise the bonus for buying ! This is the future ! 2000 euro bonus should be the minimum !

I won't get the fuel from the energy an resource intensive petroleum infrastructure. Electricity amounts to about 8% of the energy in a barrel of oil. Ironically, an EV goes about the same distance on that 8% than IC cars go on the other 92%. I have a 4kW solar array. I power my home and my neighbors. Then I charge the E-Loremo during off peak hours at night when electricity is cheap. In the day, the solar array will return the energy I used to charge the E-Loremo. = $0 operating costs.

I really like the Loremo, but I don't like the door arrangement. Also, the mid-engine configuration wastes critical space for stuff to be hauled. For 99% the time I need a car is for transporting people and goods around, because it is inconvenient to move stuff around with a bus. Therefore a low-resistance VAN would be more profitable.

Any updates on the company's status? Are they still there? I really want to buy a diesel version of the Loremo, the LS. It seems to be my ideal next-gen car.

Even though this car is the size of a shopping cart, they could sell millions just by gas mileage advertising alone AS LONG AS the price is low enough! I assume the price will be around $20,000 which will keep people away.

Aerodynamics are cool!

His point was that in America there is far more commuting and the effect on the environment would be greater. As far as our buying habits on trucks and SUVs maybe you should look at the current trend instead of using our history of buying it and applying it as fact today. With gas as cheap as it is today, it is going to be hard to convince people to buy this to "save money" they are going to have to rely on the whole "saving the environment" idea.

[Stormsvale]

Back to your sun spot point. This hypothesis has been deemed implausible in journals such as nature and Science by scientists who have won the nobel prize and were not paid by big oil. So edify guy please get all the info before edifying us. As for the car, I will buy one as soon as I can. Great idea and even if there is lots of oil! Better to keep the nest clean for our kids!!

[jpbalkenende]

yeah cept that... Gas is more expensive here. And mass transit isn't THAT convenient. In fact the Bike beats mass transit here in NL like 9/10 times here for short trips (actually bikes work great here they beat out cars 8/10 times as well).

Anyway if only you Americans would buy these things instead of useless trucks and SUVs then maybe I'd agree to let you guys have it first.

[c0c0asauce]

global warming isnt a hoax...if it was then half the reason for this car and all alternative fuel sources would be gone(the enviorment)

[wellyes]

Who cares whether we're technically at peak oil? The speculators are driving the price of fuel astronomically and the market is demanding alternatives. The problem is that government lobbyists and big industry are largely impeding the growth of such technology. Is that a free market principle? I think not.
