Am I missing something with this? By the time you have added the larger battery, faster charging, air conditioning, etc. the price is getting on for that of the Mini EV or a Zoe!

I quite like it, central driving position, clever packaging, with still two further passenger seats.

Yeah I like it too, fits in the Toyota IQ / Smart space and both those fairly popular.

Would be great to hitch behind a motorhome I guess also, just like them.

Price is getting down to my bottom feeding too, though not sure the dog would like the seats in the back. Will be keeping an eye on this and how it goes...

It's vapourware. It won't launch next year.

They don't even have a working prototype. All the photos are CGI, not real vehicles.

We have seen this countless times. Someone thinks mass producing a car doesn't look that hard and they can go from zero to sales in 6 months. They are of course wrong.

I must have imagined the video of one being driven around by actual people then.

This sounds like a much better idea than the 2-3 tonne luxury electric SUVs currently being pushed out by Tesla, Jaguar, Audi, Merc etc. I think my Lab would love the back seat too.

Yes your right, the EV to save the planet was the Gwiz with it's 6hp motor, 10kWh lead acid battery, simple design, easy to maintain, sustainable, ordinary industrial materials etc. But that is not how endless growth and consumption works which all our lively hoods depend on...
