It's possible prState, depending on the battery type and an adequately high discharge rate. I agree with the correspondent though, the range they claim is quite ridiculous. I'm completely confident that like all the other high performance electric sports cars, Tesla etc, it won't arrive on the market anytime soon, and probably never.

At the present state of battery and associated technologies, the only viable realistically priced car is a town car, moderate performance and range. As I remarked above, even they keep getting put back year after year due to problems, despite having some of the top motor companies like Daimler Benz (electric Smart) and Mitsubishi (electric i-car) behind them. Previous e-cars from the big boys like models from GM and Peugeot have quickly disappeared from the market.
