You're right, 40 miles on a charge is an insult; my AC Propulsion eBox gets
120+ miles on a charge. (from Andrew's post)

You are so right, Andrew. Ev1, also, had a range of way over 100 miles. 
Those folks who let themselves get excited over a 40 mile range have bought 
into the big automaker's grandiose shell game. People who either have 
studied the history of EV development or are old enough to remember some 
things, know that 40 mile range is really somehow a dumbed down EV.
Speaking of history, I know something really exciting that might be 
happening soon in Tallahassee, FL. Hint...Spyder Juice...Only EV historians 
will know this important piece of EV history...I will say no more for 
now...Shhhhhh...Fran
