Default Re: George Clooney is the 1st owner of a Tango (elec. car)

Of course, the question I have is:

According to the product specs, it can tow a small generator so that it can be powered for extended drives. I wonder how you measure the "gas mileage" of a generator whose sole purpose is to provide current for an EV. It you link the EV car to a towed generator, doesn't that sort of make the Tango a hybrid?

That car looks, really, REALLY cool! I don't know if I'd be courageous enough to try to drive it 150 MPH like the product specs say you can.

Maybe they could design an EV motorcycle? That would be pretty cool.

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
