> ... can't help but feel this is an attempt to justify a technology which simply isn't ready yet Statistically speaking, such long commutes are unusual. However comments like this create the impression that an electric car with ~80 miles range is a toy. I think 80 mile range is plenty for a commuter car. Only 15% of commuters have one-way commutes longer than 30 miles, according to http://www.statisticbrain.com/commute-statistics/ http://www.statisticbrain.com/commute-statistics/. Just my two cents.
