Just got back from the pub, where I was reading Jay Leno's review of the SCC Ultimate Aero in the Sunday Times. This got me thinking about the EV version again.
One thing we never did back up the thread was check SCC's own site. So I had a look and sure enough the "years between charges" claim is there in black and white:
Shelby SuperCars - SSC - Exotic Luxury SuperCars
Wow - they'd have to be pretty sure of this to put that in a press release. I hope.

The drive train under development will feature a revolutionary power source allowing for extended time between charging intervals with the possibility of several years between charging. Powered by a 500 horsepower electric motor, the Ultimate Aero EV will have true supercar performance. Additionally, SSC is exploring the potential of a twin 500 horsepower electric power plant producing 1,000 horsepower in a 2 or 4 wheel drive configuration.
Wow - they'd have to be pretty sure of this to put that in a press release. I hope.
