Nissan has unveiled the production version of the AO-Extender solar panel add-on for the Sakura EV. Launch date is yet TBA.

While sturdy enough to be driven with the panel extended I wonder if the additional drag, wind noise and reduced visibility really are a worthwhile trade-off.

Can't say I'm a big fan of Kei cars, but I recently got to drive one and I liked it.

2017 Honda N-Box Custom.

The Kei cars truly have their own charm. Maybe I'll buy one sometime.

This concept from the 80's is very close in size to the first-gen Smart, but gloriously boxy - and look at those awesome doors!
