30 minutes would get only 9 miles here. Heck, it was 40 minutes for 4 miles yesterday for me, including some spirited driving in a couple spots, if you want to call it that - as much as I'm willing to do in the city around pedestrians, bikes, and lots of other cars. City life does that, with lots of waiting at lights for a few moments of moving. But I can still turn and accelerate hard when I get the chance.


I've also observed the battery range on my wife's car go UP over the course of the mile-ish it usually gets driven. That's a Volt, which is perfect for those super short trips that are most common, without leaving us stranded for longer trips.
