How are we going to afford the construction of park and ride lots, public transportation in general and basic road costs if this car is sold in large quantities? This may get real interesting if the Eco-Freaks try and oppose the increased electrical infrastructure required to operate a high fraction of these cars. Even a station wagon version with six seats and room for a two-by-four would have significant mileage savings. Are you sure here is enough battery capacity( plate material) for these to become common?
