Some observations from the page:
The styling of the sedan is quite derivative. As pointed out, there's some TR3, I would add '50s Morris Minor. Drive through one axle, the other end has a beam, so front wheel drive.
The boxy one shows the tailgate in two configurations, side hinged and bottom hinged. They also show four people sitting in the rear. This would require either the vehicle to be much larger or an opportunity for transport of little people.
Range for both models is stated to be identical. Yeah, sure.
Chaims of construction of wood and steel. Maybe the box, but good panel beaters don't come cheap, nor do giant presses.
A computer graphic generated trip through fantasy land.
Yawn.

Even went to research the wheelbase/width to see what body would fit over it... 904, volvo 122 wagon, etc. It's fun to daydream, but could find no info.

Oh well.... Thanks for sharing.
THAT is their value. $50k before rebates EV platform, you then put your kit car/coachwork body over it, and you have a $125K custom EV. College teams cound build EV endurance racers, or maybe a Pike's Peak hillclimb rig with unlimited torque, or a series of Yellowcab bodies on EV frames for a taxi service in a mid-sized city.

But how many people will find these vehicles desirable? Not many...
Yeah, and especially at 80k!!! Who is the target consumer?
