Forty years ago one could buy an electric car that had a 500 mile range for under US$20K. I don't remember how long it took to recharge the battery though.
Literally everything in that vehicle was covered by an NDA. If you bought one, you had to sign an NDA.
The ultimate insult was when one of those vehicles was involved in an accident, and the manufacturer insisted that the traffic cop that took the accident report sign an NDA.
Other than that stupid NDA, it was a pretty good vehicle.
I've occasionally wondered what would have happened, had the owner of the company that made those vehicles been willing to distribute without requiring the NDA. (Ironically enough, he also taught new age classes on why the universe requires one to give everything away.)
