WTF is that?! Looks like someone built it in a shed. Reminds me of
the Hammerhead Eagle Thrust - a car made out of scrap parts on Top
Gear:

It wouldn't be much use in the central U.S. due to lack of
charging stations at least for now. Ugly as sin but not a ridiculous
price. The link is to Autotrader, a vehicle market place.

I have seen videos such as these driving a Tesla cross country:

The car will essentially plot your route from charging station to
charging station where you have to eat or sleep while charging.
What Tesla does not tell you is that electric cost is at least twice as
high using their charging stations.

Not seeing an EV in my future with the possible exception of an eBike, I
only skimmed the article but the takeaway was the charging costs were
higher the equivalent gasoline costs.

Found it:

The article is about Australia so US costs may differ.

They're free to charge at public points in the UK, and dirt cheap if you
charge at home. But the extra cost to buy the car is the same as the
amount you save on fuel, so no point.

By the time you can afford an electric car, you'll have one
of these in the back yard.
