As your pricing example points out, EV's are *nearly* there, and the
Renault pricing deal will be enough to bring-in more early adopters.

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.

Many people occasionally want a long range without stopping for hours
to recharge an electric car (much faster charges are possible, but
suitable charging points aren't common).

On the other hand many families have more than one car, and only need one
of them to have a long range.
