Sir Clive Sinclare in the UK invented a similar electric vehicle more than 15 years ago, it was small and impractical much like this vehicle and needed a flag on a 6 foot pole at both ends so that large trucks didn't run over it and its driver. The same problems are evident here, its small ( not as small as Sinclairs but still small ) it has little storage space. Im all for saving fuel and reducing emissions but at least make the vehicle practical

I owned a Ford Escape Hybrid for 3 years it was supposed to do 33/36 mpg but I never got more than 25 mpg and I guess unless you drive at a constant 56 mph on a flat surface with no stops and starts one would never obtain those figures. I wonder how you would need to drive to get 300 mpg, Driving at 56 mph is not realistic at least if you want to live here in San Diego.
