"The Passenger variant is powered by a 71.2 kWh battery, providing an estimated driving range of up to 358 kilometers (222 miles). The Cargo variant offers two battery options: a 51.5 kWh pack for a 280-kilometer (174 miles) range, and a 71.2 kWh pack for up to 377 kilometers (234 miles) per charge."

The lowest end passenger model with the 71.2kWh battery costs 29.5k GBP (~40k USD). Can't wait for it to sell in the US for nearly double that.
Bring this shit to the US
