But if the electric car is only good for local computing, it then must be (in
most cases) economic as an _additional_ car, not as a replacement for a car
currently owned.
Liquid fuels aren't going to go away for a long time yet.
Hydrogen cars have approximately the same problem, there isn't the
infrastructure to support them, even if they might be practical. The
electric car could work. I also note that many families have several
cars, with one used mostly for short commutes and things like shopping.
The electric car for a multi-car family could make sense if it fits
the needs of that family.
