What bothers me is that Jay Leno has an electric car made at turn of 19th century, goes at 40 mph, think, has a range of 80 miles. . . I’m not impressed with the progress made over the last 120 yrs!

I had our company EV van the other day (Peugeot Transit equivalent) as it had to go in for a service. Usual range is 200 to 250 which suits us as all of our trips are around MK so no great distance. Now some people say EVs have no 'soul' and are boring to drive but put the van in 'power' mode and stamp the pedal to the floor and a lot of ICE car drivers with their soulful rasp from the smoke pipe are left wondering how they've been left standing by a van, of course the range indication drops very rapidly with that sort of driving a lot like an ICE car's mpg figures will do if they try to keep up.
But it's still 'horses for courses', for us with no distance work and the joys of MK's dual carriageways with a roundabout every half mile the EV isn't a bad choice.

I wouldn’t have an EV vehicle for distance running, I’d stick to hybrid. TT
