I'd sooner own a hot, wet, quick, deep throated, windy Morgan over an Elio
I'm taking the Elio because I'm no longer in a position to buy 50k toys. ASMOF, I never was in that position! I've tried other positions, -but you won't catch STD's driving an Elio!!

Morgan just came out with an electric version. I hope Elio gets the same; guaranteed, someday.

I think if EM wanted to be cutting edge and disrupt the auto industry they should be developing the $6800 (?) ICE base model in tandem with a $12,900 EV Model and roll both out on the same day..........disrupting both markets.

They could do an EV for cheaper than $12,900 if they want to follow that one from Poland and not include the battery.

EM would also come in well under their target $6800 base if they don't include the IAV engine. LOL

The technical/financial risk to EM is untenable to PE and I, as a potential ICE Elio owner, totally support him in that position. I'm glad to see EM pursue that when they have the ICE Elio rolling out by the thousands and reliable.

The only problem with that, is the 11 miles of extension cord that I'd have to buy in order to make my commute.....

(And yes, my name DOES end in "ski")

0-62mph takes less than 9 seconds and a top speed in excess of 90mph. Encased within the
tubular space frame chassis is a 20KWh Lithium Battery and a liquid cooled 46kW motor driving the
rear wheel.

I see a Pollack joke here....
