@jeffcliff @slashdot Are you mad? If the car loses half its range, its defective. Apply that thinking to a gasoline driven car, and the vendor would have to replace it.

It also pushes up the cost of driving 2x. You have been fooled!

As for sweden, 7% is electric, so no, you are plain wrong there. As for norway, they are socialist, and are swimming in oil, so you got like 50% of the cost subsidized by the government. So that is political and has onthing to do with technology.
