http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/new-10000-electric-car-on-a-charge-20101126-18aqn.htmlA $10,000 Electric Car, designed in Aus, made in China, range of 160km, weighing 450kg. The light weight aspect was my point in an old thread. I think the Mitsubishi Electric Car is almost 3 times (3X!!) that weight. But it's bigger, and will probably end up with a better safety rating....
Mitsubishi is about 7 times the price!
I would consider buying one, just add the Roof Racks !

.... 2nd car for all those short trips.
This was an old thread.
