My wife shocked me the other day when I mentioned that since most of my local trips are less than 20 miles, I wished I had an EV to run to the hardware and grocery store and such. She piped right up and said, "why don't you make one from a Lotus 23 body kit?"
(We have a composites business and make Lotus 23 (among other cars) bodywork for the vintage racing crowd.)
I she a keeper or what!?
Now I gotta start reading up on EVs...
