I agree - the company that built the EV1 with its Cd of 0.20 is capable of much more. At least they are going to build and sell a practical four seat, four door EV. EV's save about $17,000 per 100K miles of driving vs an average ~22mpg vehicle. The Spark EV is better (on paper at least) than the Mitsubishi i MiEV which is selling for almost exactly the same price. We can hope that Honda sees the light and sells their Fit EV everywhere, for a similar price - I think they would clean up!
