Looks like a roller-skate.

might as well just drive a golf cart like they have around Sun-City, AZ.

Looks like you’d need two of them....one for each foot.

“About 90 percent of the i lease takers are having Level 2 charging ports installed at their homes”

So it’s $60 a month plus $2000 in electrical bills..

Plus the cost of the electrician to rewire your house to accommodate the charging port.

I wouldn’t drive one even if it was gasoline operated. Just pretty ugly.

“I wouldn’t drive one even if it was gasoline operated. Just pretty ugly.”

i’d rather take public transit with the rest of the loudmouth afros than be seen driving that oversized golfcart.

At least the Tata won’t run out of juice halfway to your destination.

Coal power power plants produce the cheapest electricity,on a large scale,in this country.Coal also produces about half of the country's power (IIRC).Osama Obama has publicly promised to bankrupt the coal industry and news reports suggest that he's succeeding.So how much will it cost to charge these roller skates in a few years?

Hydro Coal power power plants produce the cheapest electricity,on a large scale,in this country.

About half or less the cost of coal. Cost about 6 cents kWh here. Grand Coulee Dam alone capacity = 7,000 MW. Average coal plant 1/10 that.

A really fat guy got hit from behind by one of those Tata Nanaos that was going at top speed.

They had to take the fat guy to the hospital.

To have it removed.

Every time we see one of these on the road, my four year old grandson, says, “grandma there’s a Barack Obama car.”

I think this would be a FABULOUS deal for a young city dweller with a garage where he or she could charge it.

So, how is a young, broke urban dweller going to get a favorable terms (or for that matter, any) lease and then charge it in their (probably $750K and up in “the good, trendy part” of the urban center) home?

The lack of places to charge it that are NOT in your garage is the problem. So is simply PARKING it, which might easily cost more than the lease!

Such cars if mandated are a de facto family size limiter. You can’t pack three kids in or the food to feed them into the car.

Such cars are death wagons.

A family in such a box has no chance of survival in a serious emergency. It’s as bad as being dependent on “mass transit.”
