 Electric car range. - Crankcase
My commute is only about 25 miles there and back. My regular weekend in-law visits is about 80 miles there and back. So yes, 100 miles covers those.


But all other journeys - weekend jollies most weekends, holidays etc - would need substantially more.

I would either need two cars or a fully rolled out electric infrastructure to allow an electric car to replicate that travel pattern, or of course, accept the "green" point that these journeys aren't sustainable and I should not undertake them by personal transport.

Something like a Prius hybrid would solve that for me, but is more expensive to buy and run than what I have now.
