Finally the world's smallest production car will be reborn as an EV. Unfortunately only 50 will be made.

Fortunately for us, Peel Engineering has recently reopened its doors and is planning a small production run of 50 new cars, divided up between the aforementioned P-50 and the bubble-roofed Trident. From what we can discern, the reborn Peels will each go for a heady £12,499 ($19,335 U.S. at current exchange rates) and will use an electric powertrain in lieu of a scooter engine. No other specifications have been released that we're aware of.

Length : 54 in (1,372 mm)
Width : 41 in (1,041 mm)
Weight : 59 kilograms (130 lb)

Ofcourse, the questions remain. Will EVDRIVER still find this too heavy ? Will Gavin finally admit this is too small ?

Why would I want that? No thanks. I'm not looking for the lowest weight or smallest EV I'm looking for one with a weight that is in check for it's size and class and does not have excess weight. I am not in the ultra efficient, super light camp.
