The following submission statement was provided by /u/Loki-L:
This is a minor player in the market. An obscure electric super car that most people can't afford and that only gets produced in very low numbers.
However this and other EVs along similar lines show that the prejudiced of EVs being small slow toys is slowly crumbling away.

Still a long way to go before mass adoption. I don't see the value in EVs yet apart from the driving experience and possible form savings cost (only if you can charge at home). Great if you can charge at home. The cheapest EV in the UK is the MG5 at £25995. That's just way too much for many people to afford. Used prices are still very high. Battery tech and charging are getting better. The infrastructure is still poor.
