    I’m into hybrid cars and alternative fuels as much as any other guy, but this does not look any kind of safe to me.

    Has this vehicle passed any of the crash and safety tests that are common with regular cars?

    It exceeds the current safety standards according to what I’ve seen and read so I presume they had to do those tests in order to make those claims.

    I read about this briefly in Wired…smart idea and well done.

    DO YOU HAVE ONE?

  5. Natasha Says:

    I’m assuming that one tank of gas equals 1 gallon. As you can get 300 miles from a tank of gas in most cars which wouldn’t make this one very economical.

  6. admin Says:

    One tank is one gallon which gets the car approximately 300 miles

    I’m glad to see more companies attempting to offer hybrid and electric vehicles, but why do they have to be so strange looking?

    Hopefully, the Tesla Roadster will set the stage for electric cars that you wouldn’t point and laugh at. :)

    They look “strange” since that is the shape that is required for the best aerodynamics. Consider a bicycle helmet. This design reminds me of an airplane… wheel fairings and all! :)

    Oh wow, you mentioned this in February?! I was thinking this was new and I was on top of things. Oh well, missed again, lol.

    I like your photo of the interior. I do love this car, but shudder to think of how it would fare with our NYS winters. Still, I’d get one, for summers only!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
