higher cost. That is, if ranges are only 50-60 miles for electric
vehicles but it's 200 miles to the nearest large airport, needless to
say it isn't going to be a choice to take that to go catch a plane if
have to stop 3-4 times on the way for recharging. (And, no, that's not
made up; that's reality here in round numbers--it's 180+ to Amarillo,
210+/- to Wichita)

You don't have to go that far. Quite a few people I know drive from
Cincinnati to Indy because Indy is so much cheaper (another indication
of market forces at work).
