Well it turns out my iMiev is not the first electric car on Rarotonga. Back in the 80's there was an experimental research station here. I don't know much about the back story, still trying to get details on it. Apparently they tried to run on solar and had an electric car. The place closed down over 20 year ago and it was left abandoned. The car was left where you see it in the pictures with the jungle reclaiming it. A pity really, part of the Cook Islands history being left to deteriorate. Really should be in a museum. It is a two seater. Left hand drive. Curious instrument panel. You can see where it plugs in. Anyone know what model this is? Okay user rhett in #cars on Efnet identified the model. It is a Comuta-car. Google images of it and you can see that's exactly what this is.
