battery power = limited range, slow 'refueling'.

I own ONE car, which has to serve both for short-range runs commuting, shopping, etc. AND for long road trips.

I live in NYC, and finding (on-street) parking for one car is enough of a challenge, I would not want to deal with the hassle of needing a separate parking space for an electric, PLUS have to find an outlet for it.

Just to add to it, my normal commute is Mass Transit, my PT sometimes sits for weeks between road trips. Without 'daily commute' usage the battery powered car has even less value.
