  • 300 kg mass—because using a 2.5 tonne vehicle for commuting is ridiculous;
  • energy-efficient tyres, brakes and suspension;
  • a clean, quiet and efficient electric drive system;
  • compliance with road safety and worthiness regulations;
  • good performance, with a top speed of 120 km/h; and
  • 150 km of city driving before the car must be recharged.
  • The cost of recharging Trev is 1.1 cents per kilometre
