jjackstone- I saw that interview. It made me think, whats the point? When you can accomplish a project like the forkenswift, or ben's eletric metro for just a few thousand. Sure not everyone is as mechanically inclined as those guys. Seems that there could be a growing need for conversion shops.
I can't wait to see what Tesla's new 4 door sedan will look like for $60,000. With a 200 mile range that would seem like a better deal than the Volt.
If the big auto manufaturers take the lead in the EV world then prices will never be in the affordable range. Personally I think the independent developers will be what keeps prices affordable.
