Many people are like me though, and are always doing one thing or another that requires a truck bed. I'm always doing some home project, hauling the dog to get a bath, or something. But that's why I just bought an older truck that I really don't drive all that often unless I need the truck bed.

So, pickup/bus/van/motorcycle/ Electric Car all means I need ANOTHER, normal car.
If I am going to have a normal car, The EV becomes a bit of a tough sale.

Yeah that is why I wonder why tesla can come up with electric cars that go 300 miles, but others can't. The tesla roadster goes something like 300 miles, but its kind of a special case cause it practicality for everyday use isn't all that great. Its just a toy. But they are developing that 4 door luxury sedan right? They claimed it would go 250 miles which is more than enough. Plenty of gasoline luxury sedans would need refueling at that point. And its a 4 door with a nice trunk. I would probably buy one if they could make it to production.
