Anyways, I travel out of state from where I live to Texas and back again a number of times each year. It's about 420-450 miles there. That's hardly a road trip but completely kills my ability to get there in a timely manor.
Until fast-recharge stations are built these vehicles will never really catch on, in fact I'd say that's one of the top three reasons these cars have not caught on yet in the general public. |
then that vehicle is obviously not for you
just like a hummer is not for me
we all have preferences, and an electric car is not one of yours
btw, you need to see Who Killed The Electric Car......the fast recharge station has nothing to do with why they didn't catch on....california has them EVERYWHERE, and electric cars were released in Cali, but they never caught on because no one told anyone they were available, and by the time people realized they could get one, the car companies pulled them back in and stopped making them, claiming "lack of interest"
the interest is there, the car companies have no desire to feed that interest though, if they did they would lose out on their multi-BILLION dollar parts and service industry
