So what would you call a reasonable range, then, bearing in mind the
need to have some reserve because of that detour, or the extra part of
the trip cos you just remembered you need a widget from B&Q?

And what's with all the backslash-quote business in your post?


Well, the market does have some natural seggration already:

1) Mummy doing a 2-3 mile school run in the town - ideal for a tiny slow
vehicle that can be topped up in 20 minutes at the supermarket or soak
charged over the weekend from a pool of charging points.

2) The medium ranged commuter - 5-10 miles to a station, charge while parked
all day.

3) The long distance regular driver.

The only problem I can see is that 1+2 want to pull a long distance journey
once in a while - so that's two car territory, but as lots of families have
2 cars anyway, that still leaves a market.
