I agree 100%.

I would love to have a vehicle like this so I could keep the "road car" parked more.

Being retired we don't commute. But we always seem to be running to town for one reason or another. We live out in the country about 35 miles from the nearest big town and even at that distance this vehicle would work for shopping, dinner, going to the movies etc. I would add that to be "greener" you need to try to get the charging off the grid. That will come after the cars. Here in FL I could solar charge one for free most of the time.

Charles Darwin's quote fits this situation so well:

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
