I commute 40 miles a day and live in a state where it often gets below zero. That 62 mile range would not not get me reliably to and from work as I would need to use the lights, defroster, heater and wipers many days and at below zero temperatures that battery has no where near a 62 mile range. With a 6 mile commute and a milder climate the electric car might work great. I noted the rather large depreciation. In three years the vehicle goes from a $28K sticker price to a $7.7K market value. That says a lot about market value for electric cars

It does, that’s why it was so cheap (and sat on his lot for two months).Cache pages are our friend.

It does. It should work out nicely for us since the commute is only 6 miles.

Even in the cold it should work out.
