Going by history as to how electric vehicles actually perform in real world conditions - night (lights) winter (heater) summer (air-conditioning) wretched traffic (stuck runing heat or air and not going anywhere) I had friends at Ga Power who used to use company electric cars. I remember one guy went from downtown to the perimeter (about 18 miles) and ran out of juice to get back. Fortunately there was a costco with an electric charging station nearby, so after an hour or two he was able to return.

First generation gasoline powered cars at the turn of the century were also crap.

Mrs Henry Ford drove Detroit Electric.

Second and third generation lithium ion electric cars will advance very quickly.

Gas cars also have lower range in winter, when using air conditioner etc.

Difference is they have longer average range and more refueling stations.

The gap is going to close rather quickly.

Particularly with a backup aluminum air battery pack.
