Amazing?!

Although we'd rather not admit it, electric motoring is an inevitable future. So, I hope this is sustainable and somewhat true. It would be nice to think this is what the future of electric motoring has to offer.

Very interesting, best of luck to him! I just wish that the National Grid and the energy infrastructure in general was more "Eco friendly". At the moment there's very little/no financial or environmental benefit to moving over from an economical fuel burner to electric.

Granted I drive an uneconomical sports car, but that's not the point...

Then add in the 100+kg of batteries to power it

I'll wait until hydrogen cars are cheap before leaving petrol

Lol good call. Not to mention that going 200mph on a battery will no doubt get you the best part of 2 minutes run time.
