Hi Lindsay,
That's why small solar makes so much sense to me. On site generation with low losses.
It is unfair to say that fossil fuels don't "lose energy" when transported, because it takes energy to operate pipe lines, railroads and trucks.
Do look at the smart car crash testing video. It survives a high speed crash--but the G forces are always tremendous in any such high speed collision.

Safety is also a huge factor. These mini cars (not even meeting the standards) will be flattened in a highway speed crash. It is all political as we have massive amounts of untapped fossil fuels in the US. It is all about global warming even though we haven't had any in the last decade and a half. Electricity for any EV must be made somehow. Wind and solar are a tiny fraction and electricity loses large amounts in transmission unlike fossil fuels.
