Doing that will sort out who can drive and who can't because the parity will be built in apart from the fabrication work building the body. It may not be a very appealing thing at the moment but time will wear away the idea that we must have an IC based engine.

Surely the next TV deal would cover the costs required, just as the last TV deal did.
The last thing the category needs is more control parts, let alone an almost complete Hybrid car from the one source
