The electric cargo bug shown below is a typical homebuilt vehicle from Lydia, a decaying former mining world in the Spinward Marches. The planetary atmosphere is too thin to support combustion, and the level of retained technology is too low, to permit there to be any alternative to battery power for a reliable vehicle. (Unreliable worn out higher tech vehicles can still be found.) The operator and passenger of the bug must wear vacuum suits of some sort for protection while operating the open topped vehicle.

[Notes: According to the current rules, the 2kl battery stack in this vehicle would cost Cr1,000,000, and would require 250 mechanical control panels (100kl, 25t) to control. Ridiculous! Performance looks ok, and no characters should be given an opportunity to buy one of these things anyway (too valuable to their owners, regardless of any assessed value in credits), so ignoring the cost of the batteries entirely looks like a reasonable temporary solution. The "faint" emission level is an extrapolation not covered by the rules. The vehicle is small enough that passenger weight might matter, so seats were figured at 0.1t rather than 0.02t, to allow for an 80kg nominal passenger.]
