Many thoughts such has, what if you run out of battery, does the power of the car become less as the battery gets older etc. Seems like a good move forward for electric cars though.

Batteries are supposed to last for 100k miles, obviously with charges every 250 miles.

A re-charge only takes 3.5 hours

No "Ken Livingstone rip off" charge either, zero emissions (from the car) ... good if it's a company car.

Heard the otehr day of someone having to repalce the battery in a Prius....£1500 or something rediculous.

Anyone found what car it is based upon yet. The handling of this car will be something else, even with the batteries.
