Is it a plug-in, a transformer, or both?
I know, I know. If not for rich people, average joes would never have been able to afford cell phones and flat screen TVs. God bless the rich people! Although I wonder, did the government ever offer massive tax incentives and subsidies for cell phone and flat screen purchases?
Anyway, we live in volatile times, especially when it comes to energy. And while many years, maybe even decades, of rich EV purchases might eventually offer scaling potential that trickles down to the rest of us, don’t volatile energy markets require more cost-effective solutions, now?
But enough of that foreign oil dependency nonsense, because the HX1 is one smoking hot ride.
“The slippery shape of the HX1, which boasts an ultra-low 0.28 coefficient of drag, is enhanced by active aerodynamics, notably a rear spoiler and side skirts that deploy at speeds above 62 mph. The seven-spoke turbine-style wheels also reconfigure themselves at higher speeds to help reduce drag,” notes InsideLine.
Wheels that reconfigure themselves? Is this a car or a transformer?
Then there are the four scissors-style doors and the retractable middle row of seats that can transform the HX1 into a 6 seat vehicle. Awesome! And coming soon to an econobox you can afford soon. Well, maybe.
Not enough? How ’bout a natural oak interior — culled from a sustainable oak tree farm no doubt — coffee machine and minibar? Would you like whipped cream with that cappuccino? A shot of Tuaca?
All that and 73 mpg, on average, or 18.6 miles of pure electricity? You’re not just rich, you’re green, buddy.
I want one. I’ll just sell my house and move in. 73 mpg, minibar, coffee machine. What else does one really need? Maybe a retractable solar powered carport? Throw that in and it’s a done deal.
