I don't know anyone (locally) who would not laugh at me for driving a car like that. But then, most of the people I know don't really care about the environment, renewable energy, lowering their homes energy consumption through thoughtful improvements, etc.

Since that crowd doesn't translate into Mark's (me) opinion, I would dearly like to have one like this. I hope he shares more about how he did this. At 170 watts/mile (I rounded up for safety), I could make my 40 mile roundtrip commute on 6.8 kilowatts of electricity, which means at 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour, it would cost me about $0.58 to drive to work and back.

A BIG for this streamliner!
