There have been some interesting electric vehicles come onto (and go from) the scene over the last few years. However, in Australia we are becoming acquainted with velomobiles.

This link has a list of manufacturers. Most of them are single person vehicles, but seem to be amazingly zippy, even without electric assistance, an option for many velomobiles. With their full enclosed shells they are probably much better for places that have the odd snow fall (rare in Australia) than things like recumbent trikes.

Here's a link to the story on an electric assist trike I built myself several years ago.

And it's baby brother. (Note the photovoltaic panels on the rear to charge the batteries while I'm riding.)
