..and 200 miles range and 0 to 60 in 5 secs:

Carbon fibre and aluminium construction and still an 1100kg kerb weight.
350kg / 58KWhr battery pack. 200 mile range. 666000 dollars.

Unimpressed.

Generously ignoring charging losses, I make that about 77.5 g/km for
CO2. (58kWhr * 430 gCO2/kWhr / 322km). That's the best it will do and is
only about 25% less than the official (average) figure for a much larger
Toyota Prius.

A Lotus Elise fitted with a small latest generation diesel engine would
do the same job for about a fifteenth of the cost.
