A 660 cc vehicle (less than half of a motorcycle) is considered a toy car by most of us. My toad (midsize truck has 4,000 cc). If somebody is going to drive something quite a bit smaller than a Smart Car, they are going to have to get used to some ribbing by regular folks. The notion that this type of thing is going to be accepted by the general public is pure folly in my opinion. What is the cost of this 3 phase charger anyway?
Less than it costs to dig up and retrofit an old underground gas station tank.
Have you seen an iMEV? Yes, it is a compact car, but it's Fit sized inside, not Smart car. Seats 4. There are a lot of Honda Fit's (and similar sized cars) on the road these days. I think it would make a great toad.
Anyway, I'm not going to change your mind on anything, but I will say I recently test drove the Ford Focus EV, and if no one told you any different you probably wouldn't know it wasn't just a standard Focus (until you saw the price tag :E :B). It's a very good car.
