My trike won't fit into a Tesla, and, even with the range, trying to go anywhere an ICE can go, it just doesn't cut it. So, I'll likely have an ICE until they can get the battery technology improved for faster recharge and longer range. While Tesla's battery exchange program is interesting and fast, there aren't many of them around, with the same issue as with the recharging stations. On a trip, you can generally find fuel anywhere...it will be a long time before you can say the same thing on fast recharges. A fuel cell would be interesting, but then, you still have the issue of filling stations. And, it takes a fair amount of energy to break the H2 from whatever it is attached to, either NG, or water are the two more common sources.
