    Nice name. I would personally hold onto it until electric vehicles become mainstream, which I'm sure they will. You will probably then be able to command a higher figure. Anyone who approaches you with an offer obviously see the value or potential in it greater than what they are offering. But like fish said, it depends on how desperate you want the cash.

    I'd personally say sell at $1,500. I do a lot of business in .org and from my perspective, this is what I see:

    - A singular domain, which for something like this which would be more or less a product domain, is not good.
    - Your major buyers would likely be electric car companies, which if they were trying to SELL cars with it, would not be liking .org for that.
    - Specific tech-dependent, which may sound good now while electric cars may or may not become more popular, but if the everpresent wind or solar ever were to be used to efficiently power a car, bye bye electric. You don't have some of the richest companies in the world lobbying heabily for them like you do the oil companies with gas-powered cars.
    - "vehicle"...maybe it's just me but I rarely ever hear people SAY vehicle. I am in the US though so I suppose it could be different elsewhere. It is decently searched but electric car is searched 4 times as much, making it effectively a subpar term for a niche.

    This is not to say it's a BAD name...I'm not at all surprised you got an offer of that size, but I practically make a living with my .org sales alone and have made bigger sales of worse names...the extension is a lot more powerful than most people give it credit for. However, from those things mentioned above, if it were my name, I would certainly take that offer.
