Drive 75 miles and charge for 8 hours... To make some court apperances, I'd have to spend a whole day just charging the vehicle to go *one way*. Actually, that's incorrect, it might take 32 hours depending on route.
They may work okay for city dwellers, but not for thsoe of us in rural areas.
They're aimed at city dwellers. Hybrids (of various flavors) are the vehicles of choice for you.
Personally, I drive 2 miles to work each way, and some days I go shopping on my way home (for an additional 5-10 miles). My car was brand new at the end of 2007 (last week of December), and I have a little over 18k miles on it. An electric car would be perfect for me, if not for other practical considerations.
