The article cites approximately 50,000 miles per year. At 5 working days per week of driving, that would equal approximately 190 miles per day. The Model S page on Tesla's web site calculates that at 45 mph with the AC on (a reasonable speed for city driving) the Model S can get nearly 290 miles on a full charge [1]. In addition, if there is a Supercharger unit available, the Model S can recharge fully in less than an hour if less than 260 miles have thus far been driven [2]. Meaning it could be back at full charge following a typical lunch break period.
