    $1900 in gas $300 for electric. That is indeed a $1600 saving. Now for the part I found on the internet that they are not telling you yet. When you buy the car you own it but you do not own the battery. Think is going to lease the batteries for $200 a month. So lets re-figure this, $1900 for gas vs. $300 for electric plus $2400 for battery rental. The $1600 saving is gone and we have now spent another $800.

    No one is going to buy these European style death traps. It is funny how no one has bothered to mention the costs involved as well as the costs of insurance. This will be a failure just like the soybean plants here in Indiana. The managment might want to conduct a survey to see just how many people are going to buy one of these tonka toys. They look simular to the SMART vehicle, which is another rolling death trap as well. Indiana doesn't even have electrical hookups to charge these beast with. Hello!
