Well, different needs. (Though I must note that I'm approaching 8 years on the Insight, with nothing else I'd want to replace it with - except a Tesla, and there's no way I'd spend that much on a car.) I do make quite a few trips over 100 miles (round trip). Beyond that, a lot of my driving involves going up mountains. 15-20 miles with a 4500 ft elevation gain is a lot different from the same distance on the flat. And then there's the issue of how much sustained current you can draw from a battery pack, too.
