I dont see how this car will sell, 40 mile range isnt enough, nevermind being stuck in traffic? What if you run out of power, its not like gas, where you pour it in. This will be the next smug mobile.
40 miles is plenty for me. The Chevy Volt also has a 40 mile range and several studies have shown that a huge percentage of the populations doesn't commute more than 20 miles each way.
The Volt has a 340 mile range since it is a hybrid which can go 300 miles on a full tank of gas.
300 miles wow thats it my old 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid did over 600 miles on a tank of gas and my current 2010 Audi A4 with a Turbo gets over 300 miles on a tank of gas and its not a Hybrid...
