No matter how you cut it, you won't be able to recharge a battery with a 400+ mile cruising range in a couple minutes for a cross country trip, or while spending an afternoon at a track. That's why it is less practical than any other roadster, which are essentially the least practical group of cars as it is. As such, this car will be limited to novelty status, probably as a 3rd (or 30th) car for someone to own "just because". And if the point of electric cars is to displace gasoline powered ones, this will fail miserably because its so horribly impractical. A cheap electric commuter? Great. A competitor to the S2000? Whats the point?
