This appears the first mass produced "modern" electric car. They were mass

would be a great success. A car like this would never come from the
traditional car industry. It had to be outsiders who look at it from a
different angle and don't have their heads full yesterdays technology and
ways. They want the status quo and keep selling us antiquated polluting
crap.

Yes I suppose the electric car does it crapping elsewhere.. at the power
station?....


Indeed. it might.

Unless other than fossil fuel is used, the whole thing doesn';t make
sense from any but a *local* pollution point of view.

Change over to other forms of electrical power generation that don't
involve fossil fuels, and can't be used in cars, and the picture changes
dramatically.
