Like you I'm happy to see these things being design, if nothing else as experiments. Personally I don't much see the point. 85 miles is fine for many of the thing I need a car for, but once in a while I need the additional range, and I don't want to own two cars. I also need it to be highway safe, if I'm not on the highway I can almost always bike. Finally: I need my car to be able to pull a trailer, not a big one necessarily. I have a house, some times I need to pick up DIY stuff, or get things to the recycling station. For people who need a car infrequently, but need it for long distances or larger hauls, there's very little good options, beyond just buying a bigger, expensive car. I could rent, but that limits my use, and if I do that for a couple of time a months I can just buy a used car for the same money.
