You read my mind. The designs seem a bit anime-ish, something you’d see in one japanese cartoon. why cant they have the rough/built in the USA look to the body?

I also test drove the dynasty made in BC. Very nice quality! Now if they can make them go faster than 45km/hr! They can, but then they wouldn’t clasify as an NEV.

I test drove the zap truck in Oregon. It ran out of juice in about 1/2 hour on the hard hills with my brother in the car. They could be usefull in flat cities for very short trips… but not on hills. They are also built incredibly poorly. Such cheap interiors, i could easily tear pieces off the “truck” with my hands. Zap trucks are not a very practical solution.

My wife and I have been driving a Dynasty Electric IT Sedan for almost 4 years now. We have now put over 6500 miles on this electric.

We also own a Dodge 1500 truck that is a 11mpg gas hog. Firing up the V8 for runs the electric can do is nuts. We like driving the neighborhood streets and any posted at 35mph.This electric does 85% of all our traveling in town.

We have got into the habit of pulling over and stopping to let faster traffic go by if three or more cars back up behind us on roads posted at 35mph. Works for us and it is very very cheap to operate.

You have to get use to 25mph and should know how to maintain your electric car. There are not auto garages around to maintain these cars if the need arises. I do all the maintenance on ours when necessary. If a person can maintain a home then they can maintain an electric.

I think so. In order to get around tough US safety requirements (airbags, crash tests, etc.) and still go over 35mph they made it a 3-wheeler that qualifies as a motorcycle. I think this is the largest goofyness factor.

Do they purposefully make electric cars look completely stupid?

The Xebra Xero truck has a solar panel roof.
