Or you could have a Tesla, which is a bit more than a few nice renders and some figures pulled off a marketing powerpoint :twisted:

Yes but the idea of having thousands of laptop batteries seems more than a little crude. My experience of laptop batteries (lithium-ion) is they tend to give up around the 3 year point.

I think the Konnigsegg's performance claims are even more impressive though (if true) and the 20 minute recharge sounds good (if true!).
