The one i saw was full width of the car, contained in a rigid box with an exhaust pipe sticking out the top. It was running as there was some diesel smoke from it. When you look at Nissan running a petrol engine to drive an electric motor on the SUV cars it just seems inneficient. I wonder how that idea is cutting emissions when it runs a 1.6 petrol engine constantly. It might as well just connect the engine to the drive wheels.
Some of these EV ideas are very strange and there was a 3000 subsidy when i bought my Volvo so the extra cost was zero to have a 48 volt power pack. This power pack just added about 15 bhp as you pull away fast. I found it would be 1mpg better than without it. It was a very heaavy car with 2 litre petrol engine. Excellent car all round but too big for me to have another. The slightly smaller new Volvo is EV only so no use at all.
