Well I agree with you on the speed issue, however a range of 200 miles is still low for me. Not because I am to lazy to plug in each night but because I live in the penis of the USA and everywhere I need or want to go is north south.

The goal for me would be to have an electric car that I can drive from Miami to Orlando to go visit the mouse and not have to make it a 2 day trip when it takes three hours normally.

A practical electric car has to have a range of close to 600 miles at hwy speed to accomodate some ones need to cross a state line or take a driving vacation. No one wants to double their travel time because the car, not the passengers need a break.
