As your pricing example points out, EV's are *nearly* there, and the

Not with a ****y 130 mile range they aren't; I get a 600 mile range with
a dizzle C4.



I doubt many people actually need a 600 mile range. Few would drive that
distance without stopping - especially in the UK.


I bought the long range tank for my car specifically to give me a better
range than that for when I go touring in Europe. I won't do it non-stop,
but I also don't have to buy fuel at motorway prices.
