Spending $12,000 on a car that seats 4, uses no gas, and charges in as little as 4 hours seems like a no brainer, but the 25-mph limit REALLY hampers the car's appeal to the general masses.
I wonder why the company didn't press the envelope further to make it comply to 'normal' car specifications, so they could go faster than an R/C car?  |
I think it has to do with regulatory issues. If the top speed is 25 mph they don't have to meet all the DOT safety requirements and crash testing.
