You must not drive much. 35 miles on a charge wouldnt get me to and from work in a day without a single stop. If I have to stop at the store, yea, not even close. If they can increase battery life out to over 100 miles in a real life scenario AND keep the price under 25k, then we can talk. A car that needs recharged after a to and from trip to the mailbox is absolutely useless in the US. With a 40k price tag, its a complete waste of money.
