A new battery cost what? 1/3rd of hte car?
And how much does it cost in Electricity to charge it at home?

Why is it that all electric cars never actually give these details?

And don't forget that the batteries still require energy to construct and recharge.

So most likely this car produces just as much pollution as a normal Lotus Elise, the only difference is that the pollution doesn't come out of the car directly.

Seeing as so few of these cars are going to be around (relatively speaking) that isn't really going to bring an advantage in terms of reducing smog and pollution in city centres.

What exactly is the point?

A Lotus Elise with a load of disadvantages.
