Grinning Peapod electric car Prepares To Be Picked By Customers

Peapod car | Grinning Peapod electric car Prepares To Be Picked By Customers.

With a grinning grill, the Peapod “car” awaits customer orders, starting April 22. The Peapod is a member of the growing class of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), handy for packed city traffic, college campus jaunts, or for short neighborhood treks. The quirky ride tops out at 25 mph — the official speed limit for NEVs.

The car is a product of a Peapod Mobility, a spun-off division of Chrysler subsidiary GEM, which has been producing small electric vehicles for 10 years. GEM has had strong sales in retirement communities and college campuses.

Peter E. Arnell, who designed the new Pepsi logo (which purportedly is supposed to represent a grinning face), is the company’s director and brand guru, which perhaps explains the weirdness attached to the vehicle. Not only bulbous, the car is a real eye catcher with a clear smile complete with headlights on the vehicle’s bumper. The smiling theme is repeated inside the car.
