Just what the world needs, more tiny short range $60,0000 electric gadget cars.

Because BMW is having such a huge success with the i3 (NOT!)

 

Kinda says it all !!

 

I guess I came off a little harsher than I intended.....BMW is not selling hordes of i3's, and I think most of the problem is the $60K price (with range extender) however, I am not against small, cool electric cars - on the contrary I would like to have one to run around town in myself - just not at these huge price points. I suppose given time the prices will moderate, or maybe like the Nissan Leaf, drop like a rock once they're used.

 

I hear ya....a bit of competition might do MINI good...
I could see maybe 30% of 2 car households having an electric car for LOCAL stuff...it is an opportunity.

 

Hummm :idea: Dave I am sure you have the skills to use a Classic body pinned to a Nissan Leaf. You just need a Leaf to start with. :ihih::ihih::ihih: Come on you can do it.

Just find a Nissan with a crushed roof from a fallen tree branch. <-- See the Irony. Tree Leaf :lol::lol::lol:
