But we are all different. I drove a 59 Rambler every day. My TOTAL miles every single day is 15, with 40 or so being a max. I have driven it for 6 years now every single day and only a couple of times I have driven it 50 miles or so in a day. So not all of us need that kinda range. A basic dozen 12 volt batteries like an electric car from 40 years ago had would be just fine.
