Of course, then you're also stuck needing to have two vehicles, because unlike someone who lives in New York city and may go a decade without leaving, you likely make a trip or have to got to a few places that would ad up to over 150 miles fairly often. Often enough that you'd need a vehicle for it.

We're going to have two vehicles regardless, and that's pretty common for families and couples. The average cars per household is around 2, and above that in many states.

The Leaf wouldn't be targeting single vehicle households, but family units where one is a dedicated commuter and the other is a family car.
