It electric car

I saw this at a grocery store in Prescott Valley. I have never seen an article about it, and a search didn't find anything. It's not the ugliest electric car, but very spartan. The seats are tube frame with mesh fabric.






Anyone know something about this? Bugs me to not know anything about a car.

Kind of cool, but too quirky for me. It's classified as a low-speeed vehicle so it's only allowed on <35 MPH streets.

I skimmed through pics of their different models.
They make different models models by taking off some part(s)...

Drop the back roof and seats (but leave right-side door) = utility.
Block up the back windows, remove rear seats = van.
Remove roof (replace with tube frame) = tropic (sort of a moke).
etc.

I think MINI could bring out a dozen new models using this technique.
