Koenigsegg sees a battery cell shortage in our all-electric, shiny new future. Which is why company boss Christian von Koenigsegg is a bit hesitant about building a proper, world-beating fully electric hypercar. It"s definitely something he imagines, though. "Eventually, we see that as a possibility. It has everything to do with battery pack weight, the car weight, the cell availability, and to a certain degree but not much battery cell cost," he told TopGear.com. "There will come a time when a BEV (battery electric vehicle) will be able to beat what we can do with a hybrid," he adds. That time however, is still quite a way off into Koenigsegg"s future.
