I know it’s a couple years before launch, but is there any word on possible pricing? Or, is it even worth discussing this early in the game?

Wow… that IS rapid. And I say that as someone who rides motorycles.

Unlike Eric I find the looks (not to mention the attributes) of this car to be quite pleasing to my eye.

With that range it could operate as a taxi for a full shift.

Thanks, Neil. Think I’ll go ahead and stick some of those details in the list.

Zachary,

A couple of other important facts about the SIM-WIL:

It does 0-60MPH in just 5.4 seconds — this is seriously quick.

It has 4-wheel drive.

The side view mirrors have both small optical mirrors and video mirrors which are much better than optical in some situations. They are smaller and more aerodynamic than anything else out there.

So, this is a quick, 4 seat electric car, that drive farther than anything else except the Tesla, and it will be considerably less money than those. I’m fairly certain they will have a cleaner design for the wiper arm on the production model.

It would have an MPGe of well over 200, since the battery capacity is equivalent to a tad bigger than 1 gallon of gasoline (33.7kWh = 1 gal).

I think it looks almost identical to the Honda fit, which looks fine in my books. Anyways, I don’t think anyone cares about your perception of what’s attrative. These types of cars are our future, and you dismiss them for not being in the shape of a sports car, how American of you!

Attractive??? This has to be one of the ugliest cars I’ve ever seen. Why can’t “green” cars be sporty looking? If they were, I might consider buying one. But as long as they look like bubbles or oddly shaped bugs… i’m out.
