There was a letter in The Telegraph motoring section from someone questioning the Lightning. I don't know the veracity of what he says but here it is verbatim:
"The Lightning GT Coupé is powered by a 36kW/h battery, which its maker claims may be quick-recharged in 10 minutes. Neglecting any losses, I calculate that this would require a supply of 216kW, nearly 1,000 amps at 240volts! This would need a large three-phase supply, not normally available at home, and demonstrates the ignorance of those who extol the virtues of battery-electric cars."
Are the figures correct?

I wish someone would concentrate on a sensible small electric car for mass production. I tried for one again early this year, but ended up with another petrol town car, nothing realistic electric available.

What about the Th!nk City car Flecc? Any good?
