I want one!!
Smoke just about any car at a red light and never have to go to a gas station.
Yankee Ingenuity.
I drove one of these in PGR4. :)
You know...the blind are allready having problems with silent cars...there will be blood before they have to put artificial noise in these cars...
100,000 miles is not very long, although I suppose in the ten years it will take you to hit that it wont take thirty thousand dollars to replace the battery packs.
It is also interesting to not that a few years ago they were being sold for 92,000 on preorders.

The price will go way down. Not to be negative.. but how much will it cost to charge?

On a British chassis. It's based on the ultra-light Lotus Elise aluminum chassis. Keep the weight down, your batteries last a lot longer.
Ah...I though so. Well if they could add some hidden wind blades...we could recharge on the highways.
Will battery acid spill on me if I crash and end up upside down?
For me, design is everything. Usually they design these things and make the look like a Prius.
You have battery acid in your car already. I think that would be the least of your worries.
