If it has enough range. Working today, 120 mile round trip and that
is one of the closer locations. For a single day a 300 mile round
trip is about my limit.


Sure, I don't imagine an electric car would suit your usage, but lots of
people have regular, predictable commutes, of fairly short distances
(average car commuting distance is about 10 miles IIRC).. so an electric
car could well be suited to those people e.g. as second family car.


but, you'd proabaly need a second family income to buy one.
