Whichever, it is should have front wheel skirts.
The Grumman loses to the van in all categories I posted. It might still make a great city EV. Plenty of room for batteries, and the factory curb weight is only 2700 pounds. It has a tighter turing radius and shorter wheelbase. It will be dirt cheap when they start auctioning them off and there will be a ton of them. Like the old Jeeps when they were replaced but there are more of these.
