Qvolt is an electric car that was designed by a famous Japanese cartoonist, Akira Toriyama( the creator of "Dragon Ball Z" and many) Toriyama's love of motorvehicles is quite well-known. The car was build with a collaboration of a toy company Takara, who produces ChoroQ- cartoony miniature car that runs with coil-spring pullback motors, marketed as "Penny Racers" in the West.
It is street legal, single seat car and said to possess the performance of 50cc scooter. Top speed 31mph, and range of 50miles per a charge- about an electric golf cart's performance, So that is not much more than an expensive toy- it was sold around 19,000 USD in 2005 and there are only 9 of them made. The company, CQ motors has made other cute models. It might not be a bad vehicle to have in Japan since it is crowded, and owning a regular car is a luxury; it requires inspection fee, weight tax, vehicle tax, and proof of parking space, which is not required for these small electric cars.
