It's American, what car magazines are you reading?

It's a Lotus Elise chassis and the technology is British you fick twunt.

There are 250 in the UK for sale, sold in minutes.

That doesn't exist yet. Still vapourware until someone receives one, you could get this now though, probably about your speed:

I meant the concept of a performance electric car. Sooner these roll off the production line at all levels of affordability, the sooner we can tell Opec where to swivel.

Er - maybe, but we'll need petrochemicals in the production process and we'll need to beg the Russians for the gas to fuel all the extra power stations. All that aside, it's a magical plan.

Yes of course, but we won't need them in quite the same quantities as we do when we're all burning gallons of the stuff every day.

What does 130,000 RPM Redline mean in an electric car.

[IR35 Avoider]

The British-made Lightning supercar uses much more interesting electric motors and more advanced batteries than the Tesla.

0-60 in under 4 seconds, and no mechanical brakes (I think.)

It is more expensive and not as nice to look at, compared to the Tesla, but the technology will trickle down. Volvo may be releasing hybrids that use the same wheel-motors.

It means it sounds like a jet engine.
