As a concept, this should be understood as a proof of theory for a company trying to enter the EV game. I would certainly hope at least that they aren't thinking about putting it into production as is. Chances are this is more about design elements of the frame, body, chassis and such. They will probably end up getting help from someone on the actual powertrain/engine. Contrary to the apparent thinking out there by designers, most people have other people they ship around in their car. Even if not all the time, they don't necessarily have money to buy multiple cars (one to drive to work, one to ship around kids). These single-seaters tend to fit a very small niche, which is why something like a Smart doesn't gain a whole lot of interest or sales. Add to this the fact that a lot of these EV's (at least in the US) face state by state regulations, and the general resistance of people to do or try something new or different from what they're used to, EVs have had a difficult past and will have a difficult time for a bit longer in gaining acceptance by a wide swathe of people.
