All electric vehicles?

By that I mean, they're only good for around town and short trips and they cost A LOT. So another conventional vehicle is required for real traveling. We only have 1 car (Ford Focus) plus a 30 ft. MH. I also calculated that Chevy's plug-in cost so much that a car like my Focus cost so much less, the difference would buy gas for 7 years. I'm not including hybrids which sort of make sense even though I don't personally like them. I don't see batteries in sight that would enable real travel but maybe there's some secret technology? Apparently Ford is all in for electric. Good luck with that.
Define rich. 44000 gets you an electric vehicle with 260 miles of range. And the price is deceiveing as maintenance and fuel costs much less.
Range; People routinely drive Teslas on daily road trips of 400 - 500 miles or more. Why would you be limited to "around town".
Many people that buy an EV are an all EV household within two years. Once you go electric its hard to get back behind the wheel of a gasser.
