What do you think of this cheap pyramid-shaped car?

Question

http://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2008-06/gasless-racers?page=2

This car travels 240 miles at a top speed of 45 mph, after charging for 3.5 hours on only about $5 worth of electricity.

They could modify it's shape to go on the road and possibly increase it's speed to 55. Then you could drive about anywhere exept the highway.

Compared to a car with 24 mpg, this vehicle only costs half as much to travel.

Answer 1

Um its great if it does all that, but a pyramid is not the most aerodynamic design so it will have to be redesigned to be highway capable. The Tesla roadster can go 220 miles on a charge and can go 110 mph and it looks really cool.

Answer 2

I prefer my 1999 Ford Crown Vic that runs on natural gas (methane). It's 87 cents a gallon to fill up and gets 24 mpg. It's big, comfy and goes as fast as any gasoline powered Crown Vic. No compromises here. I highly recommend buying one!
