SE: What is your personal motivation to work in LEVs?
AP: An efficient LEV is the only solution to try to resolve the 3 problems that make city life difficult: air pollution (no comment), noise (may be more dangerous too), space (how is your nerve system after 0.5 hour of trying to park your car in the city center?). And I always remember that expecially in cities it is really stupid that a man (70-120 kg) drive a car of 1500-2000 kg.
