Styletto EV Concept Surprisingly Lacking In Style

It will be a triumphant win for electric cars when they can go long distances on relatively quick recharges and we start putting that technology into everyday cars so the cost starts to come down. Until then every exclusive 2-seater electric hot rod is merely pandering to the trendy green movement. I see little redeeming value to this vehicle... and that's not even getting started on the styling.

Is electric the key? Possibly. Does this car have a purpose? Yes. The same purpose that a Bugatti has, yes a Bugatti can sustain top speed longer than the battery output on this EV supercar but the reality is most individuals run their car at top speed maybe once a year unless their running it around a closed track. Which in that case these supercars should be put aside for a proper track car...like the Atom.
Point is we should look at this as the starting block to the future of alternative powerhouse vehicles and not simply tag it up as a trend vehicle.

Sure, this thing's got it's purpose. But that purpose does nothing to further advance electric technology. This is not the first step, it's not the next step, it's just "look, we hope it does 200 miles per hour while getting uproarious applause from the environmentalists"
I'm not averse to the green movement, but this isn't movement, it's static, it's been done, it's a repeat... all they've got is styling, virtual-reality styling. And that is why this is pandering. It's jumping on the electric bandwagon because it's popular, but they're making no great advancement.
