Hmm, wonder what the catch is?

  Well for many it would require giving up a level of pretentiousness which would prevent from driving such a down level car. I think its a great deal. All I am waiting on is a convertible. I would be quite happy if VW would deliver on the e-bugster concept. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/motors/4457777/Volkswagen-E-Bugster-first-drive.html http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/motors/4457777/Volkswag... I am more than willing to be eco friendly, I just want to keep the fun quotient high.

  <100 mile range and needing to be able to plug it in at home are the obvious drawbacks. It certainly sounds like a great deal for anyone that these aren't problems for.

  It depends on a very hefty government subsidy (> 36% in CA) that will not be around forever.

  The other catch is that you'll be depending on an even more of an energy monopoly. If you have enough of your own solar cells that can charge this car, then the catch goes down. Otherwise if the demand on electricity goes high and PG&E or its equivalent deems it necessary to increase your electric bill then you have no where to go.
