I feel so sad, I worked at an electric car company in the beginning of the 2000's (as a summer job), and we all knew that those cars were mechanically far better than the combustion engine ones. You had constant power from 500 to 10000RPM, they broke some differential gears during R&D. But the cars makers canned the projects one after the others. It's the telecom industry who paid for the battery R&D in the end.
