Wheego, which makes small EVs that more closely resemble golf carts than passenger cars, says it is in "a bit of a holding pattern" as it waits for a waiver from NHTSA from having to install electronic stability control before it can sell any more cars. Only about three dozen of the China-sourced autos have hit the streets thus far, and those came some two years behind schedule. A spokesperson says Wheego has geared up production at a plant in California where it performs final assembly, but it can't move ahead until it gets the waiver. "We expect to hear any day now!" she adds hopefully.
