Amazing stuff! Now wind and solar energy will supply all our transport
needs as well.
excerpt

Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric vehicle betters its own world
record by running 1000km without recharging.

Last month we reported about the Mira EV making a world record by
traveling 345 miles (555.6km) on a single recharge. The car has now
made another world record by traveling 1003.184km without a recharge.
The zero-emission vehicle is powered by 8320 cylindrical lithium-ion
batteries supplied by Sanyo.

The record was created during May 22 to 23, 2010, by a team of drivers
at Japan Electric Vehicle Club, a civic group based in Tokyo. The car
ran for 27 and half hours at around 40kph on average. The team will
soon ask the Guinness World Records to officially recognize the drive

This one does only 80km but costs $20k

Sure, as long as all our transport needs are met with a tiny, specially
build, proof of concept vehicle going very slowly and you don't mind
paying 3 to 7 times the cost of conventionally produced electricity for
unreliable electricity.

You are still an idiot.

Someone in the UK posted this:

He said it is easy to happen in UK since cars there are too small for
big trucks to see ;)

Calculate!
Battery + motor efficiency,
(how much of the fed charge do you get back as drive)
and then,
how many nuclear power plants will be needed to charge
all electric vehicles.
