Always two to five years off... I'm getting tired of waiting.
God damnit, why can't we have a car that gets 100-150 miles to charge, can be charged from 120v (or 220v) home electricity and doesn't cost over $40,000?
Oh, and now would be good too. We've had the technology for electric vehicles widespread since the late 90s, why the hell are we playing catch-up now?
Oh, it's two years off, five years off from mass production.. blah blah blaaah... getting tired of waiting. I'm about to just grab my bike and say screw it.
Same feelings here. I only need up to 100 mile range for my daily commuter. That`s all. BTW , is it me or is the front end of this car remind you of a 2001 to 2005 Passat?
sufficient energy density (~100 mile range) and longevity battery costs about $10000, unfortunatelly it also lasts like 200 cycles only, so that is why... simple as that, solve the battery problem and the EV revolution might take off

“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

"why can't we have a car.... "
its all about battery

Mind you, at least they haven't done the regular electric car thing and made it look like a 1970's sci-fi extra.
