If all electric cars had 300+ mile range people would have no excuse not to switch.

It's been on here before.

EV goes 375 miles @ 55MPG -- and charges in 6 minutes!

There's hope, but let's see wether that claimed performance can be delivered in the real world

That A2 has been burned in a warehouse fire, and unfortunately, this only makes the batteries more controversial:

Actually, they have said more recently that these batteries are in the several thousand dollar range; which like the rest of this would be pretty close to nirvana.

But, we have no corroborating evidence for any of it, yet.
