Everything about the scene suggested that it might very well have been the last we heard of the NanoFlowcell Quant e-Sportlimousine. Promises of a magic bullet of energy storage, made by a three-month-old company, packaged with outlandish numbers like 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 236 mph (380 km/h), hinted, rather strongly, that this car's technology and performance would only exist on paper. Given that a similarly outlandish Quant car, centered in a similar black-walled booth, introduced by a very different Nunzio La Vecchia company, had vaporized years earlier, it seemed a responsible assumption that the e-Sportlimousine would do the same.

Out of Breaking News and into Chat where it belongs. Shudda done that in the first place.
It says that it can go almost 400 miles on one fill-up.
“a range of more than 600 km (373 mi).”
Sorry, I missed that part. Guess I need to pay closer attention.
The answer to the question in the headline is:
It doesn’t exist in reality
It may not exist because it’s not quite ready for the consumer market.
But if Europe, according to the article is testing it.
Probably a battery that weighs 12,000 lbs and has a 150 mile cable so the vehicle doesn't have to pull the weight...
But it does.....
After an in-depth inspection of the car, the German TÜV Süd in Munich handed over the official registration plate this week. Now the company will be able to test the car on public roads in Germany and Europe as it prepares it for series production.
Not much, just the laws of Physics and Thermodynamics.
This is likely crap.
Look to graphene for true battery advances.
Can it tow my 40ft 5th wheel? When I see battery run 18 wheelers then I might be interested in a battery car.
