Helooooo - anybody home?!?!?!
Seriously - why not a . . . . . . . . sedan?

No, seriously, we don't need new body styles for the electric car. They work fine with existing body styles.

"Until recently, three-wheelers have occupied a niche of a niche of a niche."

And now they're occupying a niche or a niche.

Seriously, chop off 10-15 mph from the top speed, place a slightly larger battery in, and drop it into a sedan body. Then you'll get something which won't be so niche.

The only people that seem to get it are Tesla Motors, who are currently designing a sedan code named "white star".
