agree with top gear on this one to be fair. In a real world test it proves how shit the electric cars are as a petrol replacement.
Sure if we change our daily routines to fit in proper charging cycles then it might be a usable car but still, it cant do really long range and the big killer, people simply arent prepared to compromise the convienience cars currently offer just for the sake of being green. Otherwise you might as well not have a car if its not convenient.
