From: gyansorova on 28 Jul 2007 16:44 Is it not about time that we saw more hi spec electric cars on our roads. I saw the Tesla Roadster and it outperforms a Ferarri on acceleration but what of teh charging time. Can we now re-charge in say 10 mins? The overnight charge is impractable unless the car is to be used for short distances from home. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kRd7ER7u-KU
