Have no fear, most who say that factory EVs don't really fit the original spirit of this list were not around when this list started. Many of the original members were involved with the factory EVs of the time. Classics like the cheesewedge citicar or the Lectric Leopard. This list turns into more of a DIY forum when there are no factory EVs being offered. damon
