wow, so I see, your answer for the general public is to live where EV's will work? That's very draconic of you, and presumptive. I live where I live because I must. This is the reason many people drop out of the EV interest, obtuse requirements and limitations. If you are trying to save the planet, by scrunching all people to less than 30mi from work? That's not a sustainable goal(for many reasons). But of course, everyone living more than 30 isn't either. The real answer is limiting world population's to less than 5billion and we know that won't fly either. Seriously, I checked with BMW, the price is $46k. The range is 70-80miles. The price is way too high and range too short to suit my need. Anyway, I'm back to dropping out until a more amenable world of ideas prevails. Point done. I leave the floor.
