But these electric cars aren't designed for driving across europe or
any great distance. They are for the wage slaves doing the M-F 9-5 25
mile round trip commute.

But the wage slaves are just the people who can only afford one car, so
it has to do all the other occasional, but so often vital, trips too.

So they use some of the money they save from the cheap energy, reduced
tax, etc on the day to day electric car to hire a more suitable vehicle
as required.

Figures were posted recently about how much one of these cars would save
someone communing into central London with, no congestion charge, free
parking and charging etc. I forget the numbers but it was several
thousand pounds...
