It has a 50kWH Battery Pack that recharges from a home charging station from 240V at a 70A.

50 kw-H X 10 cents/kw-H = $5.00 on your power bill. I don't believe the 225 mile claimed range if that's the actual size of the battery. A paid up AAA membership and a cell phone will be most wanted accessories.

Believe what you want, the battery pack is indeed 50kWH. And the range is over 200 miles ... EPA certified. And, yes, if you actually pay 10 cents per kWh for electricity, then you'll "fillup" for about 5 bucks. (In CA we pay more like 35 cents)

And yes, if you're foolish enough to run out of juice far from a charging station, you'll get stuck.
