Elio:
Founded in 2008
Five prototypes
84 MPG for $6,800 (672-mile range)
Perpetually over a year from production

Arcimotor:
Also founded in 2008 (?)
Eight prototypes
Electric, with a 70-mile range, for $11,900 (130-mile version available)
Shipping in November 2015

So, half a Leaf, for 41% of the price?

I would like to see what happens with it, though. Freebeard, perhaps you could start a new thread?

Thread is longer as Ellio has had more visibility since 2008. I responded in full at the Arcimotor thread.
