I have a BMW 330e with 12kWh battery (~20 miles range), mostly drive locally in the city, and the car reports ~55% of driving is electric for the last two months. Occasional longer trips make up the vast majority of non-electric driving.

Exactly. 10 electric cars with 20 mile pure-electric range will have a larger impact than 1 electric car with 200 miles.

You need to be able to plug it in at home though, even if it's just a regular wall socket. No one is going to go to a charging station for 20 miles of range.

in the spirit of the article, hopefully you can plug it in at home to your direct solar!
