As with all EV’s the range and Li ion battery issues are the barriers. There are safety issues with Li ion batteries re their flaring up when punctured...go to you tube!  Also the environmental and social problems of mining and disposal of Lithium. A bit like diesel where known negatives were conveniently ignored until a future time when they come to the fore. Roll on hydrogen fuel cells. I bet some will find issues to be ignored there too!

More aerodynamic than a Tesla Type-S?
Wartburg design team worked that one out on a bar napkin, with input from the fine folks at Treblant and a bottle of vodka. . Isn't Treblant a town ln the Rhonda valley? Do they drink vodka there? Ray...translating Treblant gives “children’s town” ! Tre mutation from Tref (Welsh for town) Blant mutating from plant (Welsh for children)! Ferndale has its own resident in second childhood......

Or was it Trabant?
I quite like that Lada look.
I car shared in the 90s in Holland. One guy had a Lada. Bloody basic but it would always run. I always fancied a Lada jeep
