And does it really matter if it's a "shitload of lithium batteries" or not? It goes 245 miles on a single charge. Yes, I could drive it all day around town doing shit, and then go out clubbing that night. No...I couldn't drive it 24 hours straight on a single charge. But unless I am driving to L.A. or Phoenix, I never drive 245 miles in a day. And my Prowler has a 12 gallon gas tank and gets 16 mpg in the city, 21 on the hwy.
So I theoretically get 252 mpg on the hwy (but in reality a lot less since I like to step down on the accelerator lol )

So "Yes" the battery technology already exists and is being used. That was kind of my point. No "new" battery technology is needed. The technology has existed since the late 1800's.

I really like the Tesla. And I'm going to probably replace the Vette that I just sold with a Tesla. I'd really like to also convert my Prowler to electric. But I don't want the shitty conversions I saw so far...I want one that will be like the Tesla and give me that kind of speed and range.
