The market has decided.

If I want to drive from Chandler, Arizona to Port Townsend, Washington, I will choose a standard fuel vehicle.

The infrastructure for all-electric vehicles is -- at this time -- minimal. And the electric charging stations I see around here have cobwebs on them.

This logic or business plan makes no sense at all. Has there been some new battery tech that extends beyond the 350 mile mark to say 1000 miles and recharges in the amount of time it take to fill a current vehicle?
I think until this sort of technology is present and vetted this is the Volt all over again...

And how often do you make that run?

Yeah, but I’m talking about in the near future. Presuming you’re taking interstates, there’ll be plenty of chargers for you as it stands. By the time GM is producing so many electric cars, there’ll be tens of thousands of them.
