My answer: I'm waiting for a 40 mile BEV. The Prius 12mi is too short and both it and the VOLT haul along an entirely not needed ICE (adding $10k to the price) (I have 2 other salvage Prius for all the distance I need). And my daily commute is 30 mi total. 40 miles for me.
Unwilling to pay the extra $6k for the final 40 miles of the current crop of 80 mile BEV's that I'd never use. Bob -----Original Message----- Ok, we've seen both sides of the "wasteful" range question. Let me pose this: how close to saturation are we for the market of people who can afford and are willing to have an additional car just so they can buy a short range (50+ miles) for local driving. That is, how many people are left who will buy a short range EV with the justification they also have an ICE car for longer distances? _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
