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.

With the Volt 10kwh can get you about 35 to 40 miles at up to 100 miles per hour. For a house, that’s a third to a quarter of the juice needed to power a small home. He’s bragging he can go faster and farther so he must have a battery that could output more.

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.
