I have been interested in the tandem seat arrangement for a long time. I think it is a great way to reduce frontal area and lower drag. Unfortunately they didn't have their model at the Detroit Auto show along with the other X-prize contestants, only a picture on the wall. I wanted to check out the front seat elbow room, but none of the contestant vehicles were open for inspection.
When I was doing 125 miles a day, this was exactly what I wanted. I traveled alone, I could get a cheap charge at home and I would never get stranded with a dead battery.
