For the umpteenth time. Your car is crap and YOUR car is crap and YOUR crappy car is crap! ALL CARS are crap. Anyone who is anyone drives a VAN!!!!

Also do you really think that if lots of people had these; GB wouldn’t put duty on electricity?

The UK is the only country to put duty on Bio fuel and veg oil for motor fuel.

Hence the rush to road charging.

I'll have one. No, make it two - one for each foot.

The figures don’t add up.

You guys. You just don't see the future of motoring. In a few yrs any car that doesn't look or drive like this one will be deemed illegal by the government on environmental, "fairness" and safety reasons (any car travelling at > 40 mph will be deemed dangerous).

It's for our own protection.

"Exemption from the London congestion charge - worth over £2,000 p.a"

I'm exempt anyway. I never need to drive there (nor does 99% of the population). I think that in 30 years of adulthood (most of it living in the Home counties) I have driven into Central London just twice, both times on a weekend day. And that part of the 99% of the populatuion who CHOOSES to drive into London isn't likely to be the sort of person that would drive around in an electric pram.

It's far from free for me: I dread to think how much it wold cost to have power put into my 'in block' garage and the idea of lugging god knows how many cwt of batteries up a flight of stairs every day to recharge them just doesn't appeal.

How can you take it onto even an A road then - if it can't even do 60 mph?

In the same way as the b'stard in a JCB on the inside lane of the A1 this morning. 4 miles of tail backs trying to overtake the bugger while he was crawling along at 30 mph

I take it you won't be buying one then.

It's designed & made in India if that helps?

0-60 is not possible.

It also has optional climate-controlled seating. Each seat has tiny heat or cold-releasing holes which warm or cool the body rather than the air in the car.

You can wear an iPod and turn up the bass.

Great, so your butt is frozen but your head is on fire...great.

Is not wearing headphones whilst driving illegal?

It's hideous. An electric smart-for-two would by practical and stylish.

What's the zero to sixty like - five years? A/C? Doesn't appear to have any room for a 14" subwoofer in the back.
