As to the article proper: it seems to me that running down your car is a pretty simple problem to engineer away.

So, on the one hand you say that their battery technology is in advance of everyone else... and on the other hand, you say that these fine engineering minds... haven't been able to come up with a 'pretty simple' solution yet.
