Sharing Winding Road's eBay find of the day
In a stunning example of e-sharing, we've decided to share Winding Road's eBay find of the day with our readers. Listen up: it's not stealing, it's meta... that's what's so cool about the Internet. Speaking of stealing *cough, ahem* sharing, our aforementioned find is a Chinese Smart ForTwo clone. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so all of you legitimate Smart purchasers should be very proud of your chosen auto.
Unfortunately for the Revolution EV, it appears that the quality of the copy is a bit less than stellar. You know... when making a copy of a copy it never turns out quite as good as the original, right? We're not so sure that the safety cell of the Smart was copied over intact. In fact, we're pretty sure that it was not. At least you're not likely to get into too much trouble at just 25 miles per hour. If you do make the 60 miles until your next recharge, just wait about ten hours or so for your recharge. The cost? Just under ten grand. A bargain!

There are actually new breeds of NEVs coming onto the European market place now. The spanish company DILIXI has just launched their new electric vehicle, aimed at light transport for couriers, inspectors etc. The idea is to target first companies and governmental institutions who have a responsability towards society to make efforts to lower city centre contamination.
The LUX 200 does not require a driving licence and has 2 seats with a 1.3m3 boot for light loads.
Dilixi seems to have hit the nail on the head by opting for fleet buyers instead of the private individual who will take a little longer to readily accept the need for plugging in.
