    I’m sure some cars (leaf) are capable of good range but it leaves plenty of reasons to not go electric. 440 miles is not the norm. Golfs etc are sub 200 and of course a larger car would affect range further. Add to that 5/6 people, winter with heaters etc, charge times, chargers centred around large towns and cities etc etc and I. sure its going to be another diesel for me. Still very expensive and pretty much a novelty toy for those that can afford them or those covering less miles.
