It will be interesting to see where they go with it. It looks like it
has good ground clearance and ample space for 4 people and cargo. And,
why don't they make the front more aerodynamic and get better high speed
range ? I would be interested if they can get high safety ratings and
ensure 250 mile range at freeway speeds.

It's just a "concept." Some might say that's a good thing. Quirky would be
one word for the appearance. But at least they're rethinking vehicles, and
thinking EV.

"the key considerations ... were to keep it light, small, simple, affordable
and also to make it out of as many recycled materials as possible ...
"You could argue a vertical screen is less aerodynamic, but we don´t expect
people to drive this kind of vehicle at 200 km/h ...
"Citroen says it has a 40 kWh battery pack that thanks to its low weight of
under 1,000 kg (2,200 pounds) can take it up to 400 km (258 miles) on one
charge ... 10 kWh/100 km, or around 6.2 miles/kWh ..."
That's about 160 Wh / mile, or about what a Geo Metro-based Solectria Force
of similar weight - and certainly better aero - could do in 1991.
Am I the only one who thinks that 2200 lb being considered "low weight" in a
vehicle is kind of pitiful? Seems to me the original VW Beetle was ~1600
lb, and I owned an Opel Kadett that weighed in at around 1500 lb. I think
the original Suzuki Swift was something like 1380 lb. Granted that they
weren't carrying 40 kWh batteries, but the Citicar hauled 500 lb of
batteries and weighed 1300 lb.
