That's your personal preference.

But we don't all share your preference as we don't make such long trips with a car many times a year. No one is forcing you to use an electric car, we, who find it useful, just want to have an option to buy one.

About charge time: LiFePo4 batteries can be recharged in 5 minutes from empty, if you have powerful enough charger.

Yeah I understand exactly what you are saying. Problem is for alot of people around here is the long commute. Alot of people that work here live a state away up in PA, VA or WV and have long 2+ hour one way commutes each day. So far a purely electric car cant do it and the hybrids are a joke.
