Potential Skinny EV provokes comparisons to actual shipping products
June 11, 2008 by Rob.
This concept Euro-EV trike was posted on the AustinEV list. Specs include 90 miles per charge and >60 MPH speeds, but the price starts at $40k. That’s a lot of green for an micro car when ICE Smart ForTwos are just $12k.
It reminds me of the Myers NMG trike, but has seating for 2.
One interesting question raised on the EVDL it about having hub motors for drive. Conventional wisdom is that all cars will eventually be hub motors, but the physics of unsprung weight will have to be addressed first.
