It's a shame to the author of the article or the poster that so many people comment without having actually read the article, based on the replies. The article is not about EV in general, not about Tesla in particular. It's about series hybrids which are the most economic way to design an EV, combining the capability of short time power spikes and long range. Now my contribution to the article is that large mining vehicles have used this principle since quite some time. The largest slag trucks in the world are all operating according to this principle so it's not that new. Would love to check out a car operating to that principle!
