I don't know what the point of long range EVs is for 99% of trips for most people in most cities, long commutes or other long driving distances, aside.
I thought real world was more like 70 miles or so on the Leaf. But really, it's so ugly I've really never considered it and thus done no research on it.

But I do live in Austin, which is a very large city. So if in one day I have to go to work and then to hockey at the "far" rink, I'm looking at a day of just over 100 miles of driving.
