...And yet both the Model S prototype and the Leaf prototypes were made at the same time.

Speaking of electric vehicles: I passed by a Goodwill Industries all-electric box truck in San Francisco heading northbound toward the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin County. Where the fuel tanks are usually located at the underside of the truck chassis there was a large battery box situated on each side of and under the chassis rails. It seemed to be pretty well developed and was keeping up with traffic, however the floor of the cargo area seemed a little higher than you would expect of a similar ICE delivery truck.
