I've been asking myself "Why don't they build a -lower- performance all electric car, cheaper, shorter distance, smaller?" Finally there seems to be a perfect car *for me*. My work is 20km from here, most family ~25km, copenhagen ~35km.. I think I would be able to use the car for almost all my transportation, except when I go rock climbing.

The electricity will mostly be free of charge for me, since I'll recharge it in a charging station at work.

I wonder how many years the batteries are supposed to last, and how much it will cost to get new ones though.

I was just about to write the same.. Looking for a new camera, and now I know it won't be a Panasonic.

Exactly. I didn't know it was a hazzle taking the bus in the US before reading about it here, so I gave an example about how public transportation can work in other countries.

Aha! My first thought when I read the anonymous comment about public transportation was "exactly, why not take the bus if you need to go for a long ride?". I've never felt the need for a car and always take the bus to work. During rush hour there's a bus every 5 minutes departing from "my" city to the city where I work, so I never have to check any timetable. I'd love to see a low performance short range cheap mass produced electric car. I don't need 0-100km/h in 3 seconds / or > 50 miles range when driving to the store. What I DO need is some way to transport myself short distance in the rain when I don't wanna take the bike.. I live in Sweden btw.

...I've always wondered how they put large cables in the seas in the first place..? A transatlantic cable for example, do they have a really really really long one or connect many shorter? ..Or do they manufacture it on the fly as they go? Anyone got a link with information about how these things work?
