I like the structure of the 2CV suspension - but it would not be possible to use it in the CarBEN EV5; since the battery bays are in the floor of the chassis, the suspension cannot fit there, too. I also think the suspension travel on the 2CV is way too long, and the spring rate and dampening would not be a good match with this design, either.
