I feel sure I'm repeating myself here...
There are cars which are not solely electric which have the "same range" as a petrol car. I've got one, and loads of other people have too. For these cars the constraints are all in your mind.
Nearly all of my mileage week in week out is around town and well within my electric-only range (around 40 - 45 miles in summer) but for longer distance journeys the petrol engine kicks in to drive the electric motor. I went to Cornwall last week (300+ miles) and got around 45 mpg on petrol, travelling at normal motorway speeds.
If I was going to Cornwall every week I probably wouldn't own this car.
I do completely understand that they aren't suitable for everyone, also that the infrastructure needs expansion, but I don't get why you are so blinkered and negative about them ON.
