    too slow to market, too expensive, but a novel idea... Tesla looks to beat them however

    The big problem with the eBox is that it's a one-by-one conversion. Bring them a Scion xB and $55,000 and they'll make it into an eBox. To be a significant entry into the EV world, a car must be mass-produced.

    Other than that, I'm sure it's a great car.

    I agree with both of you. Fact is though, it's still nearly half as much money as a Tesla, and it also looks a hell of a lot better than less expensive electrics out there. I guess my point is, things are looking good for the consumer who wants an affordable and still good looking electric. :)
