It is indeed an interesting article, especially decoding the British descriptions for hood (bonnet) and trunk or hatch (boot). However, the writer got a few things wrong. First, there aren't 4-wheel disc brakes. The discs are only in the front. And he referenced the battery being 500v, which I believe it is around 200v (not exact voltage listed). So, what appears to be consistent between North American auto writers and auto writers in other places is that they also get details wrong.
