Which works if you stay close to home. Not so much when you travel greater than 300 miles. Most electric cars today have a maximum range of 100 miles. This goes down if you use heat, radio, air conditioning, lights etc.

I take public transportation to work everyday. Local bus to subway. Its fine for work and entertainment, dinner in the city. It doesn’t work for shuttling kids to sporting events, grocery shopping or most destinations outside the city. Hence I also own a gasoline powered automobile.

I would guess in the future there will be battery replacement centers instead of gas stations for long trips. You drive in and replace your battery with a fully charged one.

Tesla has a large number of stations nationwide. 200 mile charge in about 20 minutes.

Don’t forget winter, because winter won’t forget you.
