Taken from the site:

Plug your Tesla Roadster into the at-home unit, and you?ll be fully charged in three hours. Packed away in the trunk is an optional mobile-charging kit that proves very useful while away from home.

If I had a garage or driveway and it was around 15k then Id buy it too.

I think theyd have to develop a system where you have a really good solar panel, that is an optional extra thats on the body some where and charges the battery while going along the road.

Just reading the thread about this car over at SPCR;

Found out a few things I didnt know. A Lotus designer had a major hand in designing it, and heres the cookie, apparently its going to be built at the Lotus factory :shock: They also poached several Lotus engineers and execs - Lotus made them sign a no-poaching deal otherwise theyd refuse to manufacturer the car! Its a shame itll only be sold in the US Imagine these with Lotus badges on them.... For £50,000 I reckon theyd sell bucket loads of em!

TBH, if I had £50k and this car was available, Id have a very tough time choosing between this and an Audi RS4.
