I'm curious to know what it's better at. I don't know of a single thing yet. 3.7 kW L2 charging is what the 2011 Nissan Leaf has. 0-60 in 10 seconds is Toyota Camry territory.
The VW XL-1 has a 0.19 CD
It's better at costing more than most cars, at $135,000.
They claim a 135Wh/mile consumption, but there's zero chance they achieve that in real world conditions.
I see lots that I like in the car, such as a streamlined shape and what appears to be a very usable interior space.
What's not to love is that ridiculous solar panel attached to the car. It's like the gold chain of green-boasting. Practically worthless, but sure to draw a lot of attention.
