Although it has been stated that an EV would be plugged in overnight, it must be remembered that not everyone has a garage, or even a driveway, especially in the major cities. It simply would not be convenient to have trailing cables running across pavements.

Would love to see this whole comparison chart, unfortunately the whole right column is cut off. I only see “Real W” heading the column thats it.

Security Guy is a liar. No one is accepting payment for an EMC electric car. The car is a scam, designed to separate car dealers from their cash. Key players in this scam are the same thieves behind the Aro, Gazelle, and SmartZ. Never heard or these cars? They never materialized, either.
In fact, even if these cars were importable (they are not), they could never be produced for the price and in the quantity claimed.
Just wait to see what happens! You heard it here first!

I test drove the plug in Prius recently in the UK, I had exactly the same thought until I’d driven over 300 miles, re-charged it when I got the chance. (it only takes an hour and a bit on 240 V 13 amp standard UK outlet) On trips under 40 miles or so, it easily achives 99.9 mpg according to the dash readout, Over the whole 300 miles, 87 mpg, which is not bad for a 5 seater roomy car. The cost for re-charging in the UK is around 30p, or maybe 50c US

They never mentioned the vehicles from Envision Motor Company. They are coming out with a Cargo Van, Wagon, and Pickup Truck. I am buying the pickup truck and have already put down my deposit. The battery has 62 Kilowatts of power, and the truck weighs less than the Nissan Leaf at 3,000 pounds. I believe them when they say it can get 260 miles per charge in perfect conditions.
They are going to start producing these vehicles in the next month in a plant in Webster City, Iowa. Check out their website at http://www.envisionmotorcompany.com.
