These guys are on to something...but they need to produce a sedan and obviously the cost has to come down considerably.
To: Red Badger
How do I buy stock? Are these guys publicly traded?

0-60 in under 4 seconds. If I had one of those I would be in a neck brace by the end of the week.

"236 on the EPA highway cycle, 255 on the EPA city cycle" The difference is regenerative braking that gives the battery a charge while slowing down...but the above difference is so small that one should wonder if the car would be better off without the weight, complexity, and cost of the regenerative circuits and components.

They need to start fessing up as to how much it will cost per charge. The mileage/charge is good in terms of showing that it’s comparable to internal combustion, but it’s never clear how much an electric car costs to operate.

Nobody sees a problem with this? PSL for cars? Wow what a priveledge....PT Barnum said something about this.
To: Red Badger
I suppose it’s patriotic to have one of these but I’m always miffed at producing this great economical vehicle and then price it to the top 10% of the populace. If they stuck the motor in something like a PT Cruiser and put a halfway reasonable price on it it would probably take off. Initial investment recovery I guess is the cause. Same thing with the Prius any fuel saving are blown in the inflated price. Still people are buying them left and right.
