I think thats a valid point but I would think there are a lot of people driving around with a truck that less than 10 percent of the time have anything in them. 40 miles would cover the range needs for a lot of people with their truck most of the time. And remember, there are charge station in lots of places and more all the time.
It will improve over time.
Exactly. This could be just the ticket for someone like me. 80% of the time, I'm just driving my truck to and from work (22 miles round trip), running errands, etc. Easily less than 40 miles a day average. But I have the occasional long drive, and need to be able to tow once or twice a month. This truck could do all of that.
I like/need a truck, the numbers don't add up enough to have a second 'commuter 'car,' but wish I could drive something more efficient for my daily commute. The VIA kind of solves that problem (yeah, for the extra premium I could buy a commuter car, but ...).
