The NmG (No More Gas) car from Myers Motors is an electric car that can go 75 miles an hour! Plug it into a 110 or 220 volt outlet and charge it up for a few hours. The three-wheeled vehicle holds one person and has a range of only 30 miles on a charge, so it’s designed for commuting to work. The tiny size makes it easy to park, too. The NmG will be registered and insured as a motorcycle, although it is fully enclosed. Priced at $36,000. Link -via the Presurfer

But really, you'd have to live within 15 miles of your job to use this, since your employer wouldn't want you to charge off the company system.
30miles/charge is still too little, the average daily round trip has to be too close to 30 to risk running out of juice on the way home. I guess it could work if you carry a spare battery with you
$36,000!?? can you not just buy a real electric car for that price? Or if you live somewhere warm get a scooter for a grand and get about 80mpg
1) The TOP SPEED is 75mph in this automotive abortion. That means that its highest cruising speed is probably closer to 60mph, which is below interstate speed limits. As for most people in America living more than 30 miles from their place of work, go mingle amongst the population a little. You'll learn.
SenorMysterioso -
Most interstate highways have a speed limit around 65-70, with an average speed of traffic around 70-75. In this thing, even if you max out the top gear, you have no way to accelerate out of danger. You're screwed.
Good point about the max speed not being the cruising speed. It cant be good to red line this thing to keep up on the highway
This would NOT suit me now that I live in Austin, and drive 75 MPH all the way to and from work. 27 miles each way. And no, my boss would not let me charge my car at work.
They don't have to make electric cars the size of coffins that are 800% over priced.
The savings in gas shouldn't be added to the price of this turd. It is just a turd, nothing more.
right now, an electric scooter would be about a tenth of the price, but probably not as zippy or comfortable as (Myers jaundiced excretion).
Overpriced. Hideously ugly.
Too bad people who design concept cars don't actually design for the real world.
Oil companies must pay them to design ludicrous crap.
If you hand built any car, be it a Pacer to Mr Bean's Mini, it'd probably cost oh about $36,000.
But no, it can't just be as simple as that, it's the Greens out to stiff you working Joes.
But it is as ugly as sin.
The Sparrow was such a great car it bankrupted its manufacturer.
Looks cute to me and I could see a crazy paint job being fun on that vertical space.
I would rather get an electric Vespa.
"this type of business will be dead. U.S. Government will probably shut this down."
What are you on about?
Why would the US Gubmint Shut it down?
And by what legal precedent>
