Mind that would have to be an accurate 100 miles - more accurate than the so called mpg ranges given for cars at the moment. The last thing anyone would want is to do a return journey of 75 miles only to discover the hills and other road conditions drains the battery faster than expected.
Yes. The average commuter, who lives just too far to go by bike or not really in reach of public transport (aka, me...) would profit greatly by electric cars.

The final specs will probably say something like: range between 50km and 100km, depending on road conditions and gradients in the terrain. Which would mean I'd get the max out of it...
