The earlier one pre-spyker was a wagon which lost the middle rear seat. They were at the point of field testing with a small group of owners in Sweden. IIRC the biggest engineering hurdle was winter time battery life due to the need to heat the cabin.
This looks different in that they integrated the battery into the floor pan. So that is a significant step towards making a real EV, but I suspect that more work is needed to make the spec attractive to potential buyers. I still wonder what the heck has happened to all the wheel motor stuff that was in the press a few years ago? Like that Volvo Recharge. That was really quite interesting!
