Why do we need "better" EV's? my 30 year old EV has plenty of range to get me to three bus stops and an air port shuttle and it took me 5 years of ownership to find a reason to drive it far enough to test its 40 mile range, the rest of my trips that I don't take my electric car tend to be for work, with a bunch of other people (wide choice in what vehicle we take) or a trip that I need a vehicle like a pickup truck for, if I had a Zip Car membership (they are not in my area) then I could get away with only owning an electric car that has a 35-40mile range and 35-40 mph top speed.
I have driven a factory built EV from 1960, have owned one from 1975 and my current one from 1981 along with driving any and every other EV that I can get my hands on.
