> truly practical

We've not forgotten that the impetus for this thread is a 600-hp engine designed for the next Koenigsegg supercar, right?

The Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model 3 are here today and are already practical cars, and are down-right affordable compared to a Koenigsegg. If you take purchase price out of the equation, the other Tesla cars are also practical in terms of range and electricity costs.

I hope those buying a new ICE car in 2020 who could afford otherwise have taken a credible look at buying an electric car instead.
