Would you drive this?

I saw this tandem 2-seater EV at SEMA a few years back.



It's called the Tango. It looks ungainly and top-heavy, but because of the motor/battery placement it actually has a very low center of gravity. Supposedly, with lithium-ion batteries, it has a 150mile battery life and can quick-charge to 80% capacity in 10 minutes. Unfortunately it costs over $100k.

It seems like the narrow windshield and (relatively) thick A-pillars would leave the driver with a less-than-ideal forward field of view.

It's got plenty of clearance for George Clooney's pinhead. He owns one.

That was a pretty good video!

What kind of car was that anyway, a Fiat? Those were some tall-a** tires man.

I hope he never wonders aloud why he is single... especially when he makes his b*tch*s ride in the back... lol

It's safer than getting on a bike with him!
