I had a feeling you were going to march in and ruinously spit all over this car.

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.

Pollution is made in the production of all cars. Saying "there will be pollution when they make the batteries" isn't a valid comparison. All components of all cars result in pollution in some form or another. The batteries are completely recyclable, by the way. They've already sorted that out.

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.

Of course this car won't make a huge difference. One oil spill doesn't make a big difference in terms of global pollution. It's the fact that they can, and a new way of doing things. Who on earth said that this car would result in lower inner city pollution? Don't accuse them of being fraudelent for something they never claimed.

What exactly is the point?

A Lotus Elise with a load of disadvantages.

Load of disadvantages? Look, maybe it's 500 pounds heavier. What else? It's far quicker, there are massive tax credits, it's cheaper to insure and run.

You are seriously way too hateful. By the way, explain the "Tulso" joke, because I don't think anybody understood it.
