I only encountered this article today. One wonders if the writer(s) would have mentioned the prototype Trabant electric car from Germany. The goal is (so I’ve heard) lightweight materials and small to increase range – essentially, it will be what the Mini Cooper used to be in the 1960s, just electric. And the pictures suggest the same.

A new electric vehicle company named Nemo Motors as just begun making its first deliveries to municipalities and institutions. We believe the market adoption of electric vehicle will begin with cities and institutional organization such as university campuses, parks, airports etc. until more efficient battery systems are made available.

The Karma uses the engine only to charge the battery – the car never actually runs on gas. The Volt never uses the engine to charge the battery, it runs on gas until you can plug in again. Almost identical technology used in very different ways.

Your details on the Prius are wrong. Toyota is planning to produce a plug-in hybrid, not an all-electric Prius.
