Solar panels on the roof help top off the battery on sunny days. They are planning production by 2009. 153 mile range.

Very nice, but I'm sure the U.S. will find a reason not to allow it here.

And I'll match your cynicism with the assumption that they'll only sell it in the US or California and not in Europe where it would actually be more suited...

Seems to be the norm for electric cars for reasons I can't fathom.

It's not as if the US could afford to pay them much for it anyway, given the value of the dollar these days... Hell, Toyota virtually has to give the Prius away to you.

Extremely practical. Perfect for over 80% of the drivers on the road that commute less than 40mi to work each day.

Leave it to the Italians...

I already did a thread on this news last week.

The site Admin moved it to the "Other" vehicles thread - News is only for Prius or Hybrids.

FYI

Wow,

Of the pint sized electric cars I've seen this is the best looker and also seem very practical. I WANT ONE!

Has that stopped us before? We routinely have electric vehicle news here, and occasionally people put up some threads definitely not related to news.
