Is there a Smart Car or electric car with a backseat?

I'd really like to get a Smart Car or an electric car but most of them only have two seats. The problem is, I have a young son who still uses a car seat and I know letting him ride in the front seat is unsafe. Do you have any ideas for a car that doesn't use gas, but has a backseat in it? Thanks.|||The answer is "yes", and "it depends." There are a host of NEV (neighborhood electric vehicles) that have plenty of room but they are not highway speed electrics.





The Tango already mentioned is a very narrow vehicle with a seat in the front and one in the back. http://www.commutercars.com/





The Nissan "Leaf" is scheduled to come out in the US in the fall of 2010 and is a 5 passenger vehicle: http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-c鈥?/a>





There are also many conversions where you can buy a new vehicle and then convert it to electric or buy a vehicle already converted by someone else. here is an exhaustive list: http://eaaev.org/eaaevsforsale.html
