MotivNation will introduce new line of 'light electric vehicles' through its Damon's division
The news release is about as long as the headline. All we know is that MotivNation, a company based in Orange County, California, will introduce a light electric vehicle through its Damon's division. MotivNation CEO George Lefevre says the product will feature an innovative motor, controller, battery and manufacturing techniques. Damon's is best known for its painting and graphics on cars and motorcycles. On its website there are shots of a custom golf cart (shown above) going through the shop. MotivNation also runs TrixMotive, a limo conversion company. The subject of electric vehicles is pretty hot right now, but the country doesn't need another NEV. Let's hope MotivNation has higher aspirations.

Good for what?
I read about NEV's all the time. I have yet to see a single one on the street (Full disclosure: I live in a suburban area between two large urban centers; theoretically, a decent area for some NEV use).
I have a 5 mile commute, and would love to find an EV that would work for me. One 35 mph road on my commute is typically driven at 60 mph during rush hour. A small vehicle with limited occupant protection and a 25 mph max speed? Sorry, I have no death wish.
Yet another NEV with a cute paint job and spiffy wheels is doing nothing to answer the serious challenges we face.

Phil L.- It's good for advertising THEIR company. Personally, I believe that NEVs are for gated communities. They are worthless for anything else except making battery powered cars look bad. It would take a radical shift in traffic laws for NEVs to have any impact whatsoever because of the current speed and vehicle safety restrictions.
