Don't think I could live with a car that has a range of 124 miles.  What happens when it begins to run out of juice?

I'm retired and I don't actually do a lot of mileage, but I'd need to keep a second car for those occasions when I want to go a bit more than 124 miles, like the annual holiday (day after tomorrow, yippee!) when I might cover 1600 miles (Scotland, then Wales, then back to Suffolk).   And what happens if you plan things wrong and get stuck in traffic when you're getting near to the maximum? 

Altogether too stressful for an old bloke.

Lets hope its not a reenactment of the film

I can't find a leccy vehicle that provides sufficient range for my commute without doing damage to the batteries.

Amperra?

I could be tempted, if they were cheap enough. As there are a few leccy charge points here at Sky, also I could always open the window and drop a cable down

Why dont they have a system like bumper cars or trams , no power drain at all

50 miles on battery and then 310 miles on £47 worth of petrol appeared to be the stated range when I looked.. for £37,000.

Might as well buy any large super-mini car and get the same sort of economy, it seemed to me..

This is the future for electric cars and means the government will make lots of lots of tax revenue charge you by the km mile.

Surely  hydrogen fuel cell cars are the way forward.

Filled up with LPG today, at 64.7p litre 

Who needs Leccy power?

Are your miles right, 310 for £47? That's a bit shite 

My fill up today cost £46.38, for 353 miles. A big chunk of that was town miles, stop start traffic. I got a quite crap 22mpg. (13p mile) Decent runs I can get 27.
