I haven't tried to gather much information yet, but this is a plug-in-to-recharge electric vehicle, circa 35 mile cruising range between charges, max speed 25 mph. The brief article I read didn't give all the specs of the vehicle, but it did say 'able to transport a passenger', which sort of suggests to me that it has only one seat (i.e. no rear seating positions, probably).
Anyway, currently our 'newest' family vehicle is a '96 Corolla, with 165,000+ miles on it; and many of my trips are well within the 35 mile range -- grocery shopping, and transporting kids to/from school and activities. I realize I often transport only one child at a time. So, I'm at least turning over the possibilities in my mind.
Has anyone here had occasion to gather information about this type of vehicle yet? Specifically the issues involved with possibly installing a child restraint in it?
I believe the vehicle costs ~$13,000 so buying one would not be a casual decision. Gas prices keep going up, though. Any thoughts?
