Tesla is already committed to producing a vehicle that will sell
for about $30K within 3-5 years.

Since the average daily auto trip is about 29 miles, per Nissan,
long distances are the exception, not the rule.

200 miles between recharge is already here.

Economy has not been addressed in this thread.

A KWH of power generated by an internal combustion engine is
considerably more expensive than a KWH produced by a fixed utility.

Reduced operating costs help to offset initial costs.
