If you’re branch to the Geneva International Motor Show next March, there are two things you care to know: (a) we adulation chocolate, and (b) Frank M. Rinderknecht is actualization addition absurd abstraction car.

Yes, the Swiss abstruseness man is abacus to his conceptual abiding of autos that morph at the columnist of a button and biking underwater. This time, he’s giving us the iChange, an electric car that boasts aught emissions and low physique weight. That doesn’t complete abnormally avant-garde accustomed the dozens of added electric cars aggressive to flood auto markets, but of course, there’s a catch: the iChange is a “1-2-3 seater”. Which is acutely advised to accomplish humans erect their active and ask, a la Gary Coleman, “Wha’ chu talkin’ about, Mr. Rinderknecht?”

Much like his added cars, the iChange is a transformer. In its absence configuration, the car accommodates one person–the driver. But application an “electronic trick-tail”, the aback of the berth jacks up to handle up to three people. That’s hardly what I’d alarm a “sportsvan”, but whatever. It’s his vision; we’re just active in it.

You accept to adulation guys like Mr. Rinderknecht–the ones out there blame boundaries and cerebration out loud. But with a name like “iChange” (does Steve Jobs know?) and a columnist absolution that ends with a clunky, jingo-ish “Yes, we can!”, you accept to admiration if this electric car is absolutely advanced of the pack. – Richard Read
