Well, as I said, every car is not for everyone. My daily rutine is between 4 and 8 miles. the car runns 15 at best. So, for me the everyday chalange is not a problem. If i want to go for a longer ride, I have to plan carefully, or rent another car! its as easy as that really:)

Having an electric car changes somethings in your driving patterns, but most of the changes are good ones.

I would guess that it will run out of power on standby sooner or later, but I have never left it for more than 3 days and it has never been a problem for me. If you are calculating with a 50% loss in extreme cold wether you are still on the safeside of making it home.
