Like so many other EV'ers, we have found the semi-ideal solution in having an EV (rather short range, but I can manage over 95% of my trips fine) in addition to the Prius which is my wife's favorite car. Everybody happy.

Obviously, a car that's superior (and actually used) for 85% of driving should be considered the primary car -- even if such a car generally isn't an option as the only car for a single-car family. > As the battery tech and charging infrastructure continue to develop, the BEV configuration becomes more and more applicable to more and more driving patterns. Absolutely, and that's a great deal about what's so exciting right now. We're actually at a point where a BEV _can_ be an only car for at least a few people, and where it can be the first car -- using your reformulation of my sloppy usage -- for the majority. And, we're definitely at the point where an almost-always-electric PHEV can be the only, primary, or secondary car for just about anybody. Not that long ago, options such as we have today were wishful fantasy.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
