Editor-in-Chief

The XP Vehicles Mini Utility Vehicle electric car prototype features “inflatable membrane construction for extreme durability” and a “removable power pack to recharge at home without (an) extension cord.” Heck, it even “floats in a water emergency.” No word on when you’ll be able to buy one, but you can read more about it on the company website.
