It is interesting how often a new EV "goes straight to the head of the pack". Even the article suggests the Hyundai Ioniq 5 "went straight to the top of the class" when it was tested late last year.
This for me is why I'm currently cool about EVs. The technology is moving forward so quickly that even in the space of a year you could be driving around in "old tech".
It feels to me as if EVs are currently at the Motorola Flip phone stage of their evolution, with a new car offering significant performance enhancements released every few months and a gamechanger, such as solid state batteries, just around the corner.
