i saw the blue prototype on my commute to work driving down the 101 freeway a few weeks ago. did i ever post those pics?
i think it looks like an elise because it IS an elise with battery packs etc stuffed in. not sure what changes they made to compensate for the weight.... i'm sure GM etc could have done this too if they really wanted to.. they had the EV1 out in like the mid 90s and many other car co's had full electric cars they had leased to the public (electric RAV4, etc). i'm sure if they really wanted to / thought it would be viable others could have done this too. sticker is something like $98k USD
i'm surprised this is on the radar screen for people on this forum.. its not a sub 90hp euro eco diesel ford!
