I doubt many people actually need a 600 mile range. Few would drive

South coast to The North West and back will see a driver getting close
to Six hundred miles. Easy to do in a diesel Mondeo and a fairly typical
drive for an engineer or sales rep.

In one day? If you average 60 mph - difficult to do - that's driving for
10 hours. Doesn't leave much time for actual work.

They wouldn't want to have to wait overnight for a "fill".

It only takes a few minutes to fill a diesel Mondeo. Last time I tried. Or
am I missing something?

Yes, the original topic was about electric cars and they will take a lot
more than "a few minutes" to refuel.


I doubt many drive more than 300 miles or so in the UK without a break.
And a rep won't be searching for the cheapest fuel.
