I wonder if it will only be able to camp at lake eyre and bonneville flats ;D

Will be a smash in europe if they can get the concept working. Bit far between charge points for us in OZ.

Can you imagine that thing passing you down the M1 at that speed? I think you'd be checking out your medicine cabinet to see what drugs you had taken the night before.   ;D
