Range anxiety mostly. I have an 80 mile a day round trip commute. I would not do it in a car that did not have at least a 160 mile range, assuming I couldn't plug in at work. If I had a 20 mile round trip commute every day I would do it in a 50 mile range car, but what percentage of the population really have a 10 mile or less drive to work?
