Taking this a very different direction from the 'physically challenged' bit.

I've noticed a seemingly extreme number of the EV's I've seen around here 
(remembering that I live in EV heaven) are outfitted for whellchair 
passengers and drivers.  Usually MV's but not always.  Haven't noticed a 
similar phenomenon in other VW vans (particularly I haven't such equiped 
Vanagons at all).
