A pretty interesting article about trying to build an electric car company from scratch.

I had seen this article somewhere else.
They are highly critical of the company's management.
Sad, this car is such a beauty and technological development...

I saw on Monster Garage a few years ago they built an electric car using several rechargable electric drill batteries. They did it in 7 days and the car ran about 13 seconds in the quarter mile. That's about 0-60 in 4.5 or so. And it was a big car. Like a 67 GTO or something.
