Peapod Electric Car Makes Us Smile Even While It May Eat People

By Jesus Diaz on September 24, 2008 at 7:56 PM

Jalopnik spotted the new Peapod–Chrysler’s GEM electric car for neighbourhoods–in the wild. Even while it feels like a glorified golf cart for “gated communities”, it looks great down to the iPod/iPhone dock in the middle of the dashboard. The design makes us smile for obvious reasons–although it’s also a little bit scary because it reminds me of the evil Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.


The Peapod will run at 40 kph with just a 48 km range per battery charge, which can be reloaded using a standard electrical plug in six to eight hours. [Jalopnik and Mocoloco]
