I saw this article over at twitterstop.com about the Peapod, a new electric car that’s supposed to be coming soon.  They describe it as a “neighborhood electric vehicle” or NEV.  And it has iPhone connectivity built right in!  It even has a cute little smile on its face (hence the “happy” in the description above).

Anyway, since I work from home and Stacey works in town, neither of us need to leave Valparaiso most days.  So I was interested enough to click through to the Peapod website… where I learned that this happy little electric car has a top speed of 25 mph.

Nope.  Uh-uh.  I wouldn’t want to do that to the drivers around me.  It doesn’t matter how cute and energy-efficient and “green” they are — I can’t imagine being stuck behind one of these, even for 5 minutes in town.

Would you?
