Combined two threads into this one.

Guitarguy: 14 miles probably represents a significant amount of the average person's commute.

I have to think Toyota has done the math on this, and they're not trying to appeal only to those who can do 100% of their daily driving on electricity.

(That said, in the small city where I live, 14 miles would work for everyone who lives & works in town.)
