 Range anxiety?  
MilesR
01-10-2011
I may be misinterpreting that instrument cluster, but I cannot imagine that this particular promotional photograph will do much to overcome range anxiety in buyers. Estimating from the battery graphic, a full charge must give a range of about 150km, or 90-100mi, which is pretty decent. However, the display also very helpfully explains that this particular car will go flat 16km before it reaches then next power point. I am not particularly attracted to the idea of walking 30km with a jerry can, to get more electricity. Also, considering that the charge time tends to be limited by the power available from a domestic power point, I can only guess that the charge time would be half that of a Leaf because the battery has about half the capacity of the Leaf's battery.
