If the range isn't sufficient I guess you could replace the batteries
with Energizers? Then it would keep going and going and going and..

Why would a electric car have 4 Exhaust pipes? (first photo). My guess it
is a Jag, looks kinda reminiscant of an E-Type.

IIRC it also has virtual engine sound (maybe that was a different car, I
started wandering when I read about this car). You gotta have a place for
that sound to appear to come out, otherwise, you won't fool anybody ;-)

I'm not sure it does have exhaust pipes, the other photos aren't very
clear? This doesn't help, either: http://www.lightningcarcompany.com/

If it does it would be because people expect it, I guess, but I don't
think those are exhaust pipes?

The story says the chassis was developed first, using a gas engine,
before the electric stuff was installed. Maybe he saw an old photo.

Since we're far into the realm of speculation, I'm sure Pat and Leon
will join us soon... <ducking>

A Leon does not speculate, and neither, AFAIK, does Pat. A Leon observes
data and them draws the logical conclusions.

There are no exhaust pipes in this picture. Assuming they do not fake-exhaust
through the front grille, I would assume no fake exhausts have been added at
all.

This one seems to have E-Type four exhausts sticking out the back. Also,
the car is supposed to feature regerative braking & hub mounted motors, yet
this pic shows the hubs full of brake disks.

Kinda like kids putting a bit of cardboard in the spokes of their bike?
IMHO most of us outgrew that. Tacky.
