Description

Screen capture from Wings3D of an all electric concept car. Picks up where the EV-1 left off. Intended to be used as a commuter vehicle, thus range becomes a lesser issue as it is intended to be recharged while parked at work or home. Powered by lightweight polymer/NiMH cells. Vehicle structures mostly made from lightweight aluminum and composites. It's a bit on the compact side, but requires little maintenance and performs comparably well (if not a bit spirited - electrics are torque monsters) compared to other cars its size.

They license those batteries from ECD here in Troy. Amorphous solar collectors once were the only news.

I like it. I have a thought, though: It looks as though that little notch/airfoil-esque indentation on the trunk might be an ideal place to catch and hold water. Rust could be a problem. Just a thought. My car design has a similar problem on the hood, and I've been trying to resolve it. I think it's cool and totally drivable. The interior reminds me a lot of the Carmen Gia. I'd like one, please.
