Unless and until that's addressed, pure-electric cars can only replace

Which is the vast amount of car journeys.

...and the easiest ones to replace. It's also NOT the vast majority of
total vehicle mileage.

I disagree,. Sub 200 mile trips account for probably 95% of al domestic
motoring and about 50% of commercial motoring.


It's probably a minority of total mileage and
therefore fuel use, especially when you include the fact that the
"average vehicle" is probably larger for long journeys than for short
urban journeys.


Since your basic assumption is wrong, I cant really say more than 'you
are wrong with your conclusions'
