Charging keeps getting presented as a major hassle but it really really isn't. Trickle charge overnight is more than plenty for a day of driving.
This is America son, I can drive 11 hours a day and still be in the same state.
Same here in canada, but we also have to deal with winter being 50% of the year here. Charging and batteries need to come a loooong way before we can even think about having one..
Wrap the battery in heat tape and plug it into itself. lol
It still operates fine in winter, its just that you need to expend so much more energy that you lose half the range
