Quote from Shotglass :

and to get to 520kW at ~200A (which is about the absolute max you can get from a single battery these days which includes having to put it in the dust bin afterwards) youd need 2600V ... and that is with 100% efficiency ... no way it makes theses performance figures

if u would take a closer look, theyre saying they use a new battery technoligy which is way more efficient than current batteries.
id take it...for a reasonable price of course.
200 kmh topspeed? fine for me, u rarely have the chance to go (safely) over the 200 mark anyway.

they use what are esentially li-ions ... now a li-ion can be discharged at ~8c and charged at 1-2c without damagaing it

they claim their lithiums can be dischaged at 100c and charged at up to 50c ... to put it bluntly i dont believe a word of it until i see it with my own eyes

Look a bit closer; your number-one-source is just publishing the company's own press release.

So then what is not to be trusted?

Do they use them because horses can't accelerate fast enough?

come on you can do better than that

You overestimate me, my pickled cabbage-eating friend.

And it's BRITISH!!!!!

That's a shame... could have been a good car otherwise!

I bet, the petrol versions sell much MUCH better than the electric version

My future plans are:

buy a house
cover the whole roof with solar panels
buy an efficient and reasonable electric car.

Something like a xfg with an electric engine would be nice, that way I could even "skin" it in team colours ;-)
