This article reads like the cars my friends and I would "design" when we were in third grade.

  Oh yeah? Mine is gonna have 800 horsepower and will be amphibious and have wings like the batmobile!

Even if you are pointing out this car is more fantasy than reality, I think this anecdote is more telling about the shift in perspective towards electric vehicles.

When children design the Batmobile of the future, it used to feature a rocket launcher. Now it might have a "self-healing" battery.

Before change can happen in reality, what we aspire to, or what we consider desirable has to change.

Buckminster Fuller's serious proposals for his Dymaxion Car aren't very far off from that!
