How far will it go with all that performance being used?

300 miles of nursed and nervous range on 85 to 100 Kwh of 1/2 ton of batteries seems to be the holy grail and limit of the EV. That range will get me about 80% of the way to my normal long drive destination. It will also get me a just barely round trip to the nearest city and some driving around when I get there for errands.

Not enough. 400 reliable miles in all conditions with accessory, air conditioning or heater comfort is necessary.

As for the tire wear at three times the rate of a normal car due to packing around that 1,000 lbs of batteries all the time... no sale.

The green weenies are doing all they can to push us into this.

Although the brand is set to debut with an electric car, this is not necessarily an all-electric brand. In addition to the Alpha5, de Vries also told Autocar that the full DeLorean roster should include a sports car powered by a conventional V-8 and a luxury SUV powered by hydrogen. It is an ambitious plan that would effectively require developing three separate platforms with completely different engineering needs.

Like most "concept cars" this will probably never see the road. This is a body shell without any powertrain... they 'think' it's going to be electric. But they also want a conventional V8, and a pie-in-the-sky hydrogen powered version.

The only way all of this happens is if they go the route of the hand-built supercar builders.
