Electric plug in cars cannot solve our energy problems but if they represented 10% of cars on the road the US would be more independent. The Xebra would not answer all of the consumers needs from a car, but as a vehicle for the consumer who needs a vehicle primarily to get to work this would work.
For taking the family on a vacation, rent a SUV to get you there and tow the Xebra.
