A tesla roadster has about a 400 km range, and takes 30+ hours to charge from a regular wall socket , according to the Tesla website.

Also, remember that that's what the website says. Top Gear's as tested battery life was greatly below what they advertise (even their "race speed" claims).

EDIT: Since I am drunk did this really need its own split? I sure as hell don't have the 4000 for the conversion right now. I just wanted to debate the idea.
Cheers in that regard, though!!!

I'm starting on the rum myself...but I'd 100% recommend that if it's possible to lose the driveshaft altogether, you should as you'd save weight.
I simply have very little faith in the practicality of a battery powered vehicle. I believe electricity can do it, but I'm thinking fuel cell rather than batteries.
