Someone in Cheyenne had one and blogged about the adventures of trying to use it around the state. Took them 12 hours to get to Lander. It seems an absurdity to have an electric vehicle in a cold, no-big-cities, large-distances state like Montana or Wyoming.

The absurdities of one of these EVs should have been evident to most folks long ago. If everything went exactly as planned, they would probably still be not quite as efficient as a ICE vehicle, but there are always unexpected little things that turn up requiring extra power. Temperature changes, hills, extra stops & more. Not much of a problem with ICEs. In a near-ideal situation using an EV, I would think the initial cost, & later on the cost of a replacement battery (especially with a used vehicle) would keep the average driver from ever owning one. As I see it (for the average person) there is no good reason to ever own an EV.
