I want one of these!

This is not a test: Mitusbishi have announced the first mass-produced Battery Electric Vehicle! Punkscience is well impressed as it is small and practical, well accessorised with a charger that will pretty much fill the battery in 20 minutes. The range may be slightly exaggerated- at 100 miles but anyone who understands the complex nature of battery discharge rates will understand that a precise figure is impossible to give. Even if the car only achieves half of its advertised range on a routine basis, that's a daily range that's more than enough to get 95% of commuters to work and back with a bit extra for a trip to the shops afterwards.
