So you are going to go through the entire process of building an EV but end up with an NEV?
That just doesn't make sense to me. I understand light and efficient. The 37 Jag is only 2500lbs, BUT it also has a 100 mile range and goes over 70mph. The stereotype against EV's is that they are gutless 'golf carts'. Building NEV's just confirms this stereotype and drags the entire EV movement down. We need to build cars that break the stereotype, not ones that prove it true.
