"Doctor Drivel" gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

Unless and until that's addressed, pure-electric cars can only
replace internal combustion for short-to-medium journey use.

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 said: "Which is the vast amount of car journeys.", andmost of the
mileage too.

You're forgetting that just one 200 mile journey is the same mileage as
200 2 mile journeys.

That is why hybrids answer the current problem.

No, it's why hybrids answer the wrong question.

You are confused or just plain dumb.

The _right_ question for short urban journeys is "Why are people using
private cars instead of public transport?"

Battery for town, petrol for longer.

Woo. Two mile range

Did you read the article? No.

Wrong.

Are you denying the Pious has a two-mile range in battery-only mode?
