I say it is impressive because of the trickle down effect through the industry a lot of their achievements will undoubtedly spawn. As with any technology, once electric cars become more commonplace the prices will drop so they will become affordable. It may not be an overnight occurrence, but I see this as a win/win for both manufacturer and consumer.

If I was in the market for a car in the 100K price range it would definitely be on my short list.
