Battery Vehicle Society

I saw mention of this apparently long-range electric car on the telly the other day.

Their pure electric vehicle is known as the E6

I confess that in my old age ( 36 ) I have become a little skeptical of claims about new EVs until the vehicle is sitting in front of me.

But, I do hope the claims are true, and I hope they get it over to the UK!

They seem to be planning to trial in California first.

Anyone heard when they might send some over here?

Also, what is the battery technology? Anyone know more? I guess it is a closely guarded secret - they mention ferrous batteries in the video...?
