Please look at the thickness of the doors, the specifications & that the car passed Dutch safety standards. This is a real vehicle which though coming in second to the Japanese they won on points for comfort & space inside their vehicle. If you look across the back seats you will see a roll cage and a strong carbon fiber bulkhead. Lawrence Rhodes URL below

My statement and questions were more general. I was curious about actually being able to build any 4 passenger (even 2 passenger) EV at 1000 pounds, not particularly a solar one. As David pointed out, to make a legally marketable EV it has to meet a lot of safety requirements and have at least some creature comforts, too. That provides, indeed, a challenge to build something so light.
