I don't know if this is a repost or not, but it's an awesome idea!

it's great in theory but they'll have to convert it to 48v in order to get equivalent mileage out of it compared to our civics. I was the moron who thought an electric supercharger was a great idea and realized that 48v was the only plausible way for it to work.. one day cars will be at that level but until then I'd wait.

oh crap, forgot to mention

the reason why I said 48v is that you can make a deep deep deep cycle battery which can carry a 48v charge much more easily than a restricted 12v

But if you're serious about it, the first custom mod you should consider is molding a solar panel into it's roof or trunk.

wow, i really like that car. I hope it will make it into production. It will be interesting to see if it really can do everything promised .
