lots of superchargers around, so no need for 500m. 200m is more than enough

What is the point of such a vehicle? the point is to travel in a city where range is not a real objective.

The vehicle is not GT, a touring car. It is for travel within a city with limited trip lengths. For owners of such cars, a daily or even thrice weekly charge would be no problem

Then there is the business of charging. My kids visited over Easter and brought with them a multiplug strip into which they plugged all their phones, kindles and game players. Charging is already a part of their lives. for some adding a car is not a real problem

For my wife who makes short daily trips and seldom journeys more that say 25 miles away in her car, it is feasible. For me who regularly drives to destinations of a hundred miles or more and return the same day, the vehicle is not feasible.

When charged at night at less than peak load for the power company, there should be capacity for a while

When I looked at the photos I thought I saw a Porsche family resemblance
