The modern world has ruined my brain.

Any thoughts of fast-charging equalling practicality are erased, however, when you try to get into the thing. The “40” in the GT40’s name is a reference to how high it is off the ground: just 40 inches (just over 100 cm). It comes with high sills, in this case full of batteries, and a tiny… Continue reading Everrati GT40 2023 First Drive: Fast, Furious
