Yeah, but thee is a difference between choosing to take a break and

someone who is a bit of an enthusiast for an elec car wanting to do
that. I am someone who tends to like to take regular breaks when
driving, but nI don't think I'd want that restriction

And most elec cars don't have that sort of range. Things like the
Nisssan leaf you are talking maybe 100 miles as best


Indeed - and that's why I'm quite enthusiastic about the Tesla - and not
at all about the Prius (it has to cart two power units around - what's
the point), or the baby electrics - but the latter do have some uses if
*all* you want is a town car. The problem is that you just can't
occasionally go anywhere else.
