An electric car without brake energy reuse is not relevant today.
Use no lead batterys.
No steel structure.

Nanotech conducers, very modern feed, charge and uncharge electronics.

Sunbeam is in all ways 4 decades obsolet. We are going to very light,
velo-electric city vechicles. Such as are posseble to pack in a subway or a
city train. The tech which is now available is not even yet used.

All new technologies need new engineering. Totally different way of
thinking - if new electronic components are  only 70 - 300 kg in weight, why
have a steel structure around them?

In my opinion, obsolete Sunbeams are at their best as remains of brilliant
british way of thinking. Cost-efficient sports cars of their era. Electric
vechicles should be designed for future - with futorolocig way of design and
hitech energy use and reuse.
