There are a few on my college campus, in use as official vehicles, presumably to give the nod to alternative energy transportation.
The ones I see are two-seaters, with the same distinctive quarter-circle windshield design and no sides or doors. The one behind the guy in the picture shows the windshield better.
What are they saying is new about these ones?
We also have these cute electric pickup trucks called "Electrucks". Same idea, but with about a 4'x6' bed for light hauling. See those here:

From what I've observed, all these cars/trucks may only go 25mph but they move "smartly", accelerating relatively fast. They seem like a step in the right direction, though not quiet ready for prime-time unless you really have a need, ie are a university or large-campus corporation.
