One thing in that list I'm pretty sure they won't deliver is superior reliability.

You can argue the tech has some reliability advantages, but I'm guessing it will take a decade or so to match the incumbents in all-around reliability, seeing as that's the hardest thing to get right as a newcomer.

Still, can't wait to play around with the cool tech!



The sheer moving part reduction going from a full IC engine to an AC induction motor is crazy. You're looking at maybe a hundred moving parts, minimum, down to one. And that's just in the prime mover itself, let alone the entire power train.
