Couldn't agree more. I saw these cars on an RAC sponsored EV event "Future Car Challenge" a few years ago and I believe Gordon Murray is living on his past achievements as he received large grants to develop these cars and all who saw them said the same thing. "Who would buy one!".
We already have numerous city cars so why on earth do we need more ICE powered ones although being sponsored by Shell says it all. Must be nice to be able to tap into such resources but why re-invent the wheel? If memory serves, these odd little cars cost millions to develop. There are deep pockets around somewhere. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 9/4/15, Robert Bruninga via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: Subject: Re: [EVDL] Con-EV: Shell fights-back with Murray's T.25 ice-city-car (dumb and dumber) To: "Electric Vehicle Discussion List" <ev@lists.evdl.org> Date: Thursday, 9 April, 2015, 14:40 Dumb and DUMBER! And the #1 best application for EV's is congested city driving. And their perceived problem is range. So Shell, being both DUMB and DUMBER at the same time, comes out with a GAS burning car for congested city driving in a tiny box that NO ONE WOULD drive more than a few miles on the open road. Shows how dumb some entrenched fossil fuel thinking can be.
