CEstar Smart? from China?

I found an article at Car News China on a car called CEstar Smart. It seems to be the only one that was made and its current location is unknown.

I have a feeling it is based on the Chinese 'smart' car instead of the Smart Fortwo that is made in France.

this photo is from the article site. From what I can see, it looks really cool. It would be great to see it from a side view but I have not found one, yet (still looking).

Here is the seating and steering column. It does not seem like a Smart Fortwo but it could be a Chinese copy of the Smart. 

This looks like the dash. The article indicates it is electric. It is a cool design for an electric car. 

There does not seem to have any information at the All Car Index site.

There is a little bit of information on Pinterest. 

There seems to be some information on it at Solar Feeds. 

It would be neat to find more information on this neat little car. 

I wonder if one could take the Smart Fortwo ED (or even the gas powered version?) and create something like the CEStar Smart? Perhaps give it more room for bigger people? One article indicates it might be suitable for Chinese people who are supposedly not so tall (like many from non-Asian countries).
