"You will [be able to drive a cross country trip] in the next version."

That's been the mantra of the EV ever since Edison sold the first one more than a century ago. It hasn't happened yet. The problem is battery technology. There simply are no batteries on the horizon with the energy storage capacity and refill rate of a gas tank.

Think of your last battery powered electric drill motor. A drill motor with two batteries costs less than two replacement batteries. And the batteries go bad in a couple of years.
