They haven't got some *vast* advance in battery technology, and until that
happens you'll still have the problem with range - and cost.

I'm never impressed with journalist's 'impressions' of a prototype. They
write a story to sell and that's all.

Give one to Autocar for a full test. Then I'll be glad to be proved wrong.

BTW 40 million may sound a lot but is a drop in the ocean compared to the
research spending of others seeking the same holy grail...
