I'm not a fan of electric cars. I was personally involved with new battery development more than 35 years ago, and the fact that battery development hasn't progressed much beyond that stage leaves little hope for magical breakthroughs in the future.
Hybrid vehicles are another story.
This was a vehicle that performed as well as any small car I have driven, yet gave us 60 miles per gallon performance over 300-plus miles. I was impressed with the design of the Insight right from the start. It is small and aerodynamic with skirts over the rear wheel openings. These skirts help the aerodynamics and contribute to the extraordinarily low coefficient of drag of 0.25,which may be the lowest for any production car today. You need good aerodynamics when you have vehicle with a small engine.
