Wheego’s so-called Whip LiFe delayed, supposedly still coming soon

We’d thought the thing were on their way, scoring EPA certification back in December and, in theory, almost ready to roll. Turns out Department of Transportation approval is taking a little longer than anticipated, and so the $32,995, 65mph, 100 mile range cars still aren’t fully road legal. The company has indicated it’s received 500 orders for the things, orders which it hopes to start shipping by the end of this month. Given how many X’s we have on our calendar this month that may prove to be optimistic as well, but still probably more realistic than your chances of getting a Leaf this year .
