But these electric cars aren't designed for driving across europe or

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.

Hence the Ampera, which in a town or city charged overnight will rarely
need to use the petrol genny engine. It is simple.

But still only has an *up to* 310 mile range on genny. Personally having
to find fuel every 200 odd miles isn't very convient. I'm used to nearly
a 600 mile range.
