28 kWh of pack has to be lithium. That would weigh over 1 ton in lead.

The specs look great! Keep us updated.

28 kWh pack to 80% DOD is 22.4 kWh of usable energy. 100 miles means 224 Wh per mile which is pretty low, but doable. It is AC, so regen helps there. You likely won't see 100 miles at highway speeds though.
