Said by whom? I've seen many such announcements in the 50 years I've been following EVs. My admittedly cynical prediction is that by early 2019: The steering will be rack and pinion. The display will be an LCD screen. The range will be ~120 miles. The weight will be 500-600kg. The price will be 25-30k Euro. The launch date will be some time in 2020 or 2021. Uniti are on well-traveled ground here. The details are a little different, but I don't think I could count the number of startups that have announced ambitious plans for city EVs, later scaled back their expensive goals, and eventually sunk without a trace. I wish these folks success. I like the basic idea, and I think we need more alternatives to the major automakers' EVs. However, I'm not going to bet my retirement savings on them.
