I'm just glad I finally got the embedding to work - WOO WHOOOO!!!!!!
I was struck by the resemblance to the aptera too, only this one has 4 wheels and the tail converges into a vertical fin instead of horizontal. What I have not been able to find is the drag CD that they are bragging about. They say its low and I am sure it is, but whats the actual number?
Seems like the age old argument against electric cars. But I still can't understand how a 4 cycle engine burning fuel @ 30% efficiency is better than an EV.
There are some power plants that go down as low as 30% (which would imply any losses inherant to an EV get added on top) but are they really that common as to skew the national average for electricity generation?
ICE vehicle emissions are really pretty clean, crap you can't hardly even kill your self by sealing yourself in the garage with a running car anymore the catalyic converters are really quite effective.
