...makes Hybrid cars look like gasoholics.

Srsly, gimme. I could drive for weeks without fueling.

Wow. It looks like it'll take off and fly any minute, too. Where's George and Jane Jetson?

(Ever notice that the Jetson's cars had perfect little smoke rings from the exhaust?)

hmm didnt i just see this someplace else? oh yeah in the OOT.

either way as neat looking at that car is and as kewl as it could be, shame it will not see the light of day on a dealers lot.

And achieving liftoff once a tractor trailer drives by them.

I actually meant to post it over there.

Or attaching to them with a retractable kite string!

now id buy that for a dollar.

This thing is supposed to be safer than the car safety-standards, and recharges fully in 2 to 4 hours, probably for about $1-$2 dollars on California's electricity prices. Top speed of over 85 mph, and 0-60 in 10 under 10 seconds.

It can take 15 bags of shopping or two 7 foot surf-boards. This thing sounds GREAT!!!

The bad stuff is the only two-seater thing. Which is fine for a childless couple, or some-one's commuter-car. Impossible for families. They plan on a four seater later if they can get the two seater off the ground, but maybe they should have gone for the four seater first, even though it probably would be a harder engineering challenge to get the same energy efficiency. I can't help thinking there's a much bigger market for four seaters.


I'm really sad it's only planned to be sold in California until they get their California market well adn truly established. The price of $26k - $29k American is actually really good for what you are getting in Australian car-market terms.

Which is why SUVs, minivans and sedans out sell all other classes, on their own. The market for 4 seaters is likely larger, at least nation wide.

Most of the huge SUVs and vans I see are usually occupied by just one person.

Back at my older old apartment, there was a huge yellow H2 that I only ever saw one lady in getting her (few bags at a time) groceries. I never saw it used for anything else. Yay mileage!

Most of the time you see big vehicles with just a driver in it, those people have families at home that they need to get into the vehicle occasionally. Most of the time a 1 seater would do, but you're not going to buy a second vehicle for that 5% of the time you need 5 seats and room for groceries.

That being said, this looks like a great achievement.
