Something small again today. My brother sent me this photo of a Microlino electric car which he saw in Prague recently. The Microlino, a design that has clearly been inspired by the 1950s Isetta bubble cars, is made in Italy but the company is Swiss. Vitae appears to be a small Czech company specialising in lighting technology, by the way (just looked it up).

@xChaos @davidwilkins Dalsi pozitivum vidim v tom, ze to auto je maly. Vyhody elektromobilu jsou o hodne vetsi kdyz to se 100kg clovekem neveze 2000kg zeleza.

@pavel yes, the 1960's style of relatively small cars, but powered by batteries would be great. Both for environment and for road safety...

Especially when combined with solid state batteries. Instead of increasing range, which is not so important for fast charging, but relatively small urban vehicles, these could be used to make microcars extremely lightweight, like maybe well under 500 kg.

200 kg would be heavy enough, so that it can't be easily stolen (by less then 4 people), but could be real game changer from energy consumption point of view.
