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

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.

The UK is not the Sahara Desert. It is littered with fuel stations.

Personally
having to find fuel every 200 odd miles isn't very convient.

You are dangerous. 200 miles is far too long without a break. Tanks should
be smaller.
