I am a newbie at this stuff but lets do a little back-of-the-envelope on the claims presented:

1000 hp =~ 750 kilowatts peak output.

Lets say 200 mile range is at 33% power or 250kw for 2 hours. That's 500kwh!!!

What kind of battery pack putting out that kind of power would charge in 10 minutes from 220 and fit in a chassis? Amusing fantasy. (or does it only have 200 mile range at 10% power / 55mph / 75 kw / 100hp in which case you're still charging 150kwh in 10 minutes)

Has anyone heard of using ultra-capacitors for ultra high performance. In my uneducated theory an ultra-capacitor setup in addition to a battery pack could deliver tons of extra juice for short periods of max acceleration. Top speed with sustained draw would have to be 100% on the pack. Regen could charge the ultracap.

I have no idea if it is practical or possible to hit the numbers claimed with known tech.

Anyone?  Am I way off?
