It is exciting, but unfortunately the car is slated to cost ~$40,000 so they will not sell many. It a luxury market product, for wealthy people who want to help the environment.
Perhaps they have leeway to lower the price. It does not seem to be especially complicated or expensive technology. But my guess is that they will charge what the market will bear (the highest price they can). I doubt they want to sell large numbers of a radically new design at first. There are bound to be problems and recalls.
