Only problem is price? Just out of curiosity how would you get your Leaf from Spokane to Boise, as I can drive in one tank ~400 miles. Transporter?
Range is just one of many reasons why l'll never consider an EV.My diesel (40mpg highway...21 gallon tank) can,with some luck,do 800 miles on a tankful.
I just drove a very full minivan from FL to TX, by way of St Louis. I still got 22 mpg even with all seats down and stuffed with gear.
I can easily drive a Prius over 400 miles on one tank, but it will never replace a Silverado or T&C extended van. Two very different needs.
If willk drives mostly city driving and is back home every evening, then the EV cars work for him in that application.
