The Peapod Mobility is an all-electric mini-car with a four-person capacity and a grille that seems to smile. Sure, it only goes 25mph with a 30-mile radius, but the uber-cheap buggy will have green enthusiasts lining up to buy in fall 2009, when the car is set to launch.
This week, the company released a series of photos of the never-before-seen production vehicle, revealing one particularly cool feature: it's a drop-top. Well, not a real one; it has a removable roof, making it technically a targa, not a convertible. Nevertheless, the barebones interior is sure to inspire some minimalist satisfaction in its customers, who will buy the Peapod for its simplicity.
Among the features: woven, Aeron-chair-like seats and a well-integrated dashboard iPod dock. Check out the gallery at Jalopnik here.

This was in our lobby! But I'm going to be honest. According to the specs it sounds more like a fancy golf cart than practical electric vehicle (even in an urban setting). It puzzles me because EV technology has made advances beyond what this car is capable of.

as what people commented already, I wonder if people would spend $20,000 or less on car that doesn't go over 25mph. Although the interior looks really great, how far could it go? I also wonder if its exhaust systems are smaller than other Chrysler cars.
