Definitely very short range!
Don't expect to do a lot away from civilization!

The Electric cars on new platforms will likely be unreliable the first few years, which will hurt the resale market. Which will impact the residuals. Banks will also be conservative and thus offer very standard 50-60% residuals so they cover their risk fi...
