Does it getta charge out of moonlight?
The Eclectic is in a limited production run while Venturi Auto's test the marketing plan.
This eyecatching 3 seater sports a solar roof and a supplementary wind turbine charging system for those cloudy days and windy nights.
After a full charge of 5 hours, the Eclectic travels at 30mph for a distance of 30 miles. Comes with a map showing the complementary climate areas in Europe.
Doors are available, apparently as an afterthought.
Full production for urban European markets is scheduled for June 2007.
Roughly, $30,000.
