Again these idiots get it wrong. It isn't range that is the problem it is long recharge times. 200 mile range is fine if it only takes five minutes to recharge.
The range does matter. It is going to be 103 degrees today, how far will it go with the air conditioning on? And when I gotta go up to Minnesota for Christmas with relatives how far will it go in the winter time with the heater on? I also like to travel at night and around here they require lights.
Electric cars are for city folk. The most logical now is hybrid and the future car will be fuel cell, leaving the electric cars for California weirdos.
