Wheego Whips Up A $19K EV | Autopia from Wired.com

Wheego Whips Up A $19K EV | Autopia from Wired.com: "If you're eager to get your hands on an EV but don't have the money for a Tesla or Mini-E, the time to wait for a Mitsubishi iMiEV or the smarts to build your own, the guys at Ruff & Tuff Electric Vehicles may have just the ticket - an electric car that looks a lot like a Smart and costs $19,000.

Ruff & Tuff has teamed up with China's Shuanghuan Automobile Company to bring the little EV to America as early as next spring. The two companies hope to break into the budding market for EVs that are (relatively) inexpensive, safe and cool enough for urban environs. The way they see it, the time is right to bring an affordable EV to the masses."
