I hope so, though I think I have enough inspiration, perhaps I need direction.

I know what you mean but I have a bit of a soft spot for the old Skoda.
I have also been thinking of a small pickup, like the Skoda Felicia pick up or the VW Golf Pick up, and using the load bed for batteries.

You know what I mean! :wink: Proper, public charging that is next to the parking place to save trailing cables out of some old granny's living room window and across the pavement. Also I can imaging on some parts of my commute, if I knocked on a door asking to plug in I would either find no one in o...

Just wondering how easy it would be to find skinny alloy wheels.

As an aside, as there has been one left in the street outside, has anyone tried running on four space saver spares?

I've seen the Bug-E, it is interesting and the sort of thing I am thinking of. I am very definate about what I need right now and that is half the problem, it limits me somewhat to what I would have. I know the portable genset isn't a good thing and it is also a balance of range over carrying the ex...

In addition to the issues of battery life, range, cost, etc. I think recharging time is also a current issue. If your ICE car runs low on fuel it only takes a few minutes withoin a journey to put fuel in and then carry on. With an EV if you ar out and run out of power for whatever reason then it tak...

Couldn't find your reference, too much to read through. However, i wil take your word for it. I have been hoping for something like this in motor sport. It is probably the most effective way to fund the technology of the future. On the basis that it is unlikely that the full electric F1 car could dr...

For not being a Smart it looks really good. I agree with you about some of the early commercial EVs, they do seem like they were designed by someone other then a designer or body stylist who has no concept of image. I wouldn't drive a G-Wiz whatever the spec but I would happily drive a Smart or othe...

Is it an adapted Smart or something that has a very close likeness? Visually I would have a wider track on the back wheels to fill the arches more otherwise it looks fine (as the Smart does). Personally I would really need a vehicle that can do 55-60mph for 80miles before I would buy one. My commute...
