James May reviews Tesla BEV and Toyota FCV

[bwilson4web]

A fair review although nothing new to the 'old hands':

• 15 minutes, 43 miles, £3.38 (£7.86/100 mi) - at a busy (aka., slowed) SuperCharger
• 2 minutes, 65-70 miles, £14.40 (£20.57/100 mi) - caution as nozzle can freeze to car

Here he introduces the Miri:

Thanks, the best bit is James arguing with himself at the end.

Fvcking funny to hear Toyota started work on the Prius tech 1968. I'm to lazy to validate this. But if that's the speed Toyota works at they won't survive this disruption.

I also fully understand Tesla has leveraged the work of other companies to get to where it is today, but their pace of development appears to be significantly faster than that of Toyota.

It'll be interesting to see James opinion develop as time goes on.
