my point was that it's not just the commute to/from work. it's all of the other things we do on the way to, from and sometimes during work breaks, lunch hours, etc. and then there are all of the things we do on days off that exceed the puny 20-mi range of a so called 'affordable EV'. no, an around-town EV is going to need a minimum range of 100-mi at full electrical load (lights, wipers, AC, radio, etc) and be affordable for the average Joe before it will be acceptable. govt can try and drive this down everyone's throat but innovation and the market place will determine when this will become a reality.
Good morning Rich. Rich I'm not an expert on EV's but I don't know of a single 20 mile EV. affordable or otherwise. Are you referrring to a concept vehicle maybe? I think with the exception of the mercedes smart electric drive which is around 70 miles or 110 km I think they are all over 100 miles of range now. I think most of the new 2018 models will be north of 150 miles of range. BMW i3, leaf, obviously the Tesla model 3 and bolt with more than 200. I may have mis understood your post.
