Here's Slashdot's commentary on it from 4/4. "Interesting post, but the speed conversion has gone wrong way: "20-25 km/h (32-40 mi/h)". ... Thus the correct speed range in miles would be something like 12-15 mi/h."
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tadashi\";p=\"81179)</div> Well, it does have a gas engine for higher speeds, like the prius does. So if you want to call it an enclosed golf cart, you'd have to call the prius one as well.
It will be interesting to see what develops out of this. Combine this idea with a tweaked version of Toyota's HSD and some of that newer Li-ion battery technology that Toshiba recently announced and you might very well get a quite practical EV. Oh booksrats, as a feature of this new technology, the car will come with a finger on the dash you pull to start the vehicle. :lol:
