The Illuminati Motor Works 'Seven' has over 200 miles range, and so does Dave Cloud's Dolphin. And so does the Tesla Model S; even the 60kWh pack model. 'Seven' has just a ~33kWh pack, and so does the Dolphin.

Aerodynamic drag is the key to long range and high efficiency. The EV1 and the XL1 and the VLC all have world class low drag, and they are not surprisingly among the highest efficiency cars ever made. The Dolphin and Seven are right up there, too.
