Re: Electric Kit Car
I recall that kit cars were popular in the 80's - not sure about now
Caterham is still going strong and while I don't think they offer an electric conversion at the moment, the design is flexible enough that a decent engineer (not me) should be able to bend it to his or her own will.
The Caterham is a proper kit car (other clones are available) in my mind. Back in the 1970s and 1980s I seem to recall a fashion for taking the underworkings of a Beetle or an Escort or similar and replacing all the bodywork with something even flimsier, usually made from fibreglass and designed to look like a much more "desirable" motor; these I wouldn't count as proper kit cars.
It would be cool if Renault or someone else could offer a modular car. I suppose the Twizzy went some way towards that with things like optional doors, but it did rather remind me of a C5 that had been on a bodybuilding course :-)
