Hrmmm... Seems that it is not so much as the car being a package deal. It's a conversion kit of sorts. Sure wish they'd make it readily available for
all makes and models. It's not like that sort of thing wouldn't fly in the good old US-of-A. We already have a few people that have swapped out the gas
engines for straight electric on their daily drivers. They figure it's a good trade-off: no pollution, no buying gas and lower maintenance for a little
less performance and a range of about 75 miles - perfect for just getting to and from work.
Now, as efficient as this little sucker is, all you gotta do to make it free of carbon-emissions is to give it hydrogen fuel-cells instead of a gas engine. And
as small as that gas engine is, you can't tell me that the fuel-cells we have now won't cut it.
Now, if only we can get pebble-bed reactors going in conjunction with a superconducting power-grid, then we'll be golden as far as our energy needs go. Big
investment of capitol? Yes. But one this country could use right about now, and it would be one with excellent returns.
