The thing is though, how often have you needed to go 500 miles in your Fiesta in one day? I accept that many people, especially those who live in urban environments, don't have the possibility to charge their car overnight at home, but having said that, it's equally true that for millions and millions of car owners it's entirely feasible to simply plug the car in when you get home and for it to charge slowly overnight on a domestic socket. Who cares if it takes your car 10 hours to charge if it does it whilst you are down the pub or watching telly or sleeping?

So the idea of a car that can do 500 miles on a tankful is pretty much irrelevant if all you ever need is to be able to go 20 miles to work or maybe 100 miles at the weekend to visit a National Trust property or whatever.
