    The good news is that few manufactures get much attention anymore about EV concept cars. Everyone has one of those nowadays. Fuel cell and hydrogen cars are even less attention getting. Success is only going to come to those who start delivering something real that can be sold. The Tesla success so far has made it clear that the electric car market is very alive and far from fully tapped.

    This looks real. It is small and styling reflects reality, more functional than attention getting. Auto magazines would call it ugly. A very good sign.

    Yeah, pretty cool. But, sheesh!

    How is it that the parking brake mechanism rises to the significance of
    needing to be shown on the power train cut-away? :der:

    Maybe I'm missing something... :noidea:

    Don't want to resurrect an old thread but Renault have been hitting our TV screens in the last couple of weeks advertising the coming of their new Electric Vehicle late this or early next year. It does look quite good, though no price or specification details are given.

    I just hope they have ironed out the electrical gremlins that seem to plague their normal cars!
