How much of the population can afford two cars? One for long trips and one for short trips? Especially if one is a $30K+ EV.

I might be in the minority but I definitely wouldn't by a car where a fill up on the highway is a 30-60 minute ordeal. If mileage was the concern I'd prefer to buy a super efficient normal gasoline powered car where there is zero concern about refueling.

I'm sure the technology will get there. No doubts. Until it does though, I think it's gimmicky.
