Here's the reality check...
I would like to buy an EV at around £35-£40k which has rapid charge and ~150 miles real range. (The LEAF costs £25k in the UK.) I don't think doubling the LEAF battery size for £10k is out of the question, but no-one is talking about it.
So do I wait another 4 years for Bluestar and continue using the gasser?
No. I can do 95% of my mileage (by my calculations) on electric power now and still head off on longer trips at the drop of a hat (which I need to do). That's why I'm getting the Ampera.
I'm fed up with people trying to lump it in with the Prius. It drives nothing like the Prius. It's going to run on electricity all week.
I could take the ICE out of the Ampera and I'd have a 50 mile EV that still could do 100 mph and 0-60 in 9 seconds. If I did the same with a PiP, it wouldn't reach highway speed. The PiP couldn't drive the 30 motorway miles to work without the ICE coming on. That is to all intents and purposes why the Ampera is an EV with a backup generator and the PiP is a hybrid.
As for the "dragging around an ICE" crowd - a modern 1.4 litre engine weighs 100kg. Calculate how much the 85 kWh battery weighs over a 40 kWh...
So as I've said before, yes I changed my position on this (about a year ago) but it was when I suspected that the base Model S wouldn't meet my needs (and be a real stretch, which I would only do if it did meet my needs).
The "must be pure EV" dogma holds back electrification as much as the right wing gibberish IMHO.
That said, if someone comes out with the EV I described above then the Ampera will be for sale.
