Good on them but.........
One fifth of the cost of running a conventional car? I'd have thought
it should be a lot less, considering the average family car uses 10 l/
100km (usually much more). I also can't understand why they're using
miles (e.g. "The cost of recharging Trev is 2¢ cents per mile, so the
entire journey cost us $33 of electricity").
I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of these. ;-)

Unless its got a/c or some way of opening a window (nothing obvious in

There appears to be some sort of vent arrangement above the dashboard? For
the life of me I can't see where the second seat is supposed to be though.
If it's behind the driver then how the fuck do you get in and out and how
small is it? I'm also surprised by the ability of a door skin consisting of
what appears to be a single panel of a composite material to pass compliance
with respect to side collision protection.

3 wheels, one door and two seats hardly seems equal to any sort of car I
would think:-).

The Chevy Volt on the same site claims similar economy and looks much more
livable.

but your the fuck-knuckle saying that Petrol cars are dinosaurs, well lets
face it, yours is still a dinosaur because it has a petrol engine, so were
you just telling us lies so you could feel all smug and superior, or is it
true, a Prius is a dinosaur along with all the other petrol powered cars ??

Actually I was just thinking about that statement and your right, there is a
difference between your Prius and the electric vehicle mentioned in the
article. The Car designed and built by the South Australian University was
designed from the ground up as a city commuter, designed to carry two
people, because as they said, most commutes have no more than two people
anyway, designed with a usable range of 150 kilometers and a top speed of
120kph using battery power only, something the Prius can only ever dream of
doing :-)
On the other hand we have the Prius, designed to be an economical vehicle to
run, unfortunately it has been overtaken by lots of other manufacturers in
just about all areas where it was once alone, It is no longer the most
economical city car, and it is now in second place behind a diesel for CO2
emissions (and that really got to sting all those who bought the thing so
they could feel smug and superior because they were doing something for the
environment) the only area's that it still rules are the amount of non
renewable resources needed to manufacture (A V8 Mercedes is the most
environmentally friendly car to manufacture, run and eventually re-cycle,
ahead of the Prius) and the amount of people who buy them and immediately
feel that they can look down their noses at the rest of the driving
population.

So keep your slow, complicated, not so environmentally friendly smug mobile,
and I will have one of those for City driving and a VW Polo diesel for
everything else, and I bet that I will be leaps and bounds ahead in the
Enviro savior stakes than you :-)
