Low efficiency = expensive to run.

I can only go by what they were calming, a recharge at home on a wall plug of 4 hours VS 12 hours for a electric car...
They seemed to have figured it all out.
This was NOT vaporware, there were videos of the air cars being driven in a city, not just on a test track like most experimental cars are shown...
So I believed them and have not checked up what followed...
