Was just talking to a friend about the proposed $25K Tesla, and I told him it wouldn't have a lot of range, because that's where the expense is. Cut the range from 300 miles to 200, and you've got about $10K savings, which is important in a cheap VW or even a cheap Tesla or similar ilk. I'd like to know what the EPA range is on all these new, cheap electrics that will be coming out, like here in CA where ALL new cars must be either electric or (HA!) hydrogen by 2035 -- 13 years. I can't wait to see the owners of hydrogen cars driving miles out of their way to fill up, rather than just plug into a socket in their garage. Nope. Teslas will have a jump start, but everyone from Ford to Kia will be jumping on the electric bandwagon, advertising everything BUT range numbers.
