I watched the PBS half hour interview on this project the other night
which was a bit interesting, enough that I'll probably look for the DVD
when it comes out, or maybe find it in a theater. I've been interested
in EV conversions for a while. With the price of an EV conversion (Kit
+ extras) being just under ten grand, it's not something to just do
lightly. It rather seems to me that everything is over priced more than
just a bit from being nearly semi-custom, and some major mass
production and economies of scale are really needed to make it viable.

From the PBS interview, it's clear there is a lot of foul play
speculation, with some agendas to trash certain political advisaries in
the process, so it's not a particularly "neutral" editorial piece, but
certainly points are worth raising and pressing.

The whole engineering aspects behind EV's is actually pretty
interesting, trying to navigate a whole series of techologies in the
search for high effieciency sweet spots for the system level design.
