Toyota IQ Electric Vehicle to Launch in 2010

Im with you.

That is fairly enough to drive to work and home. It's the right choose for commuters. So what's your problem?

To be honest: EV is the future. That's what the teutons not want to understand.

You like this don’t you, Odysseus? What this thing really needs is “wireless charging” – something I understand Nissan is working on, on their electric vehicle. That way, in congested tiny Euro cities where this thing really will be found (or floating in the Dutch canals at the hands of drunken Dutch yobs who have mistaken it for a Smart), pedestrians don’t trip up on power cords when they walk down the street, alongside resident parking bays full of these things. But solar and battery technology may one day advance so that a solar panel on the roof will charge the batteries and you can then use it for FREE, just like your Casio! My first calculator cost 100 quid had 4 basic functions, a battery draining green LED (not LCD) display and the Duracell batteries only lasted 6 hours, or so! Had you told me then that today they would cost less than a couple of quid and be solar powered… I’d be most impressed! Here’s hoping….!
