    It would be nice them on the road, but I reckon it's harder than it looks because the EU and the Irish insurance cartel don't like these low volume car manufacturers and have imposed a lot of red tape and make it hard to get off the ground. A pity there doesn't seem to be any simple electric kit car you can buy. You'd think Caterham could easily come up with an electric version of their 160, even if the range was short it wouldn't bother too many people as those cars aren't really used much for traveling long distance
