Gregory's Server""The Roadster was the first highway legal serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells" "
That's not REMOTELY the same as "...he definitely started the whole EV thing".
I was coveting the the first Zero electric motorcycles (EVs don't just come with four wheels) LONG before the Tesla Roadster was A Thing.
In the UK (not everywhere is the US) we had the Sinclair C5 in the 80s; and the G-wiz was commercially available from 2001.
@keithreeder @rodhilton So you're basically saying that Elon and Tesla had no effect on how fast EVs are being adopted?
