600hp? How far between battery charges? 4400# So probably 2000# of
battery. We do not say electric cars won't work, but they are not
financially practical. And is this going to require a $100,000 Government
tax credit?

C&D said they used 70% of the battery in 60 miles of driving but this
was aggressive driving. I suppose if you are not driving like that
you would not be spending a half million bucks for this car.

It is certainly a toy for billionaires, nothing that the 99.9% will
ever own. Battery cars are a toy for the top 5% anyway. Even the
government, that is subsidizing these cars, said recently that they
are not financially viable yet.
If they can get a 100 mile "plug in" that costs $20k or less, the 20%
people will be able to buy them.
Romney's 47% will still be driving 10 year old Toyotas, Hondas and
Chevys that run on gasoline for the foreseeable future


So, it's impracticable and over priced, that means "it doesn't work"...
