After a ride in my honorary nephew's new Chevy Bolt, I can see the usefulness of electrics for some people. Those whose usual driving habits allow access to fast charging systems...he said a 200 plus miles range. Not bad...and it's enough for his lifestyle. I was impressed with the instant torque of an electric.
Of course, I promptly challenged him to a race...from my home to Burns Oregon and back. He'd have to stop to charge for hours while I could gas up the Mustang in minutes.
