Smart as a glider? Not so smart at 2x$.

A friend sent me a link to this MSN blog entry about confusingly miss-named Hybrid Technology.  They are a North Carolina EV conversion company using Smart Cars as the gilder.  According to the post, the re-assembled EV costs twice ($35k)  the ICE version.

I agree that it’s HUGELY SEXY to drive an EV and the Smart is exotic looking enough to capture vanity buyers; however, I’m not convinced that it’s a good investment to convert one of the most fuel efficient ICEs.  This would purely be a vanity buy.

You’d have my attention if they can do it at a cost that competes (or beats) with Smart’s ICE version.
