If you have access to electricity.

And how often do you drive further than 500 km in a day?


Not infrequently. Even more often, I drive more than that across a
couple of days with no access to electricity overnight.


So you will juts have to put up with running costs 3-10 times higher han
a battery car in a few years time.


Or a whole new industry will be born (as in the days of horses) where
pre-charged 'staging' cars will be available for long distance travellers.

A company requiring staff to travel would simply have an account with
them (instead of a fleet of company cars). Easy peasy.
