The Volt will go about 40 miles on electricity alone, before the gasoline generator kicks in for a total range of about 640 miles on one tank.

Tesla Roadster all electric has a range of over 200 miles. Yes a golf cart could be problematic in escaping from a hurricane, but the electric cars being developed are far from golf carts.

“the electric cars being developed are far from golf carts.”

That’s what they’ll have you believe. However, once you actually have a chance to experience the lack of air conditioning, heat, limited accessories, limited range, and lack of carrying capacity that electric cars will all feature, the golf cart analogy will come to mind for many dissappointed owners.
