It's about range anxiety, and then ends with the relief that they didn't really need to worry too much. 5 hours of driving from an electric car getting 100 mpg-e and matching a BMW M5 stat-for-stat. That impressed them, and it impresses me.
except for the part where they didn't actually make it to their destination. And since most people aren't going to have the charging station 4 miles from their eventual destination, everyone else would have been screwed. Not too mention they now have to wait 30 minutes to get their last 5 miles.
My truck can't do 260 miles on a tank. Luckily, 260 mile journeys are exceedingly rare, rarer in both a truck and a $100k sports car than in anything else. Both of those have tradeoffs on long journeys; the truck costs $70 to fill and the car takes a good amount of time to recharge. Both are enough deterrents of long journeys to keep you living within your means.
no, most people would go to the place they are going, no matter if it is 220 miles or 260 miles. If it's 220 they'd be fine, if it's 260 they'd be screwed.
Yes the range is better than other electric cars but half the article is about range anxiety. Maybe not the best link title.
