    Every now and then a typo is quite amusing:

    . . . The 8.7 kWh battery pack can charge in as little as four hours on a 24V charging station, . . . ​

    But they ignored the elephant in the room ... EU cities that ban engine powered cars or operation of engines in some areas. London comes to mind but I suspect there are similar no-ICE areas in other EU cities. That is why a CEO might want an electrified, luxury vehicle.

    I've seen 2 of those on SoCal freeways with Green HOV Stickers. I had to do a double-take the first time I saw one lol.
