Precisely. With a 600+ mile range I can fill up at whatever town or city I stop in for the night.

There will be road pricing long before that. Where you pay so much a mile travelled.

Reduces the initial purchase price. I doubt the battery is easy to change. Likely too heavy as well.

If it is just a few vehicles that are taken out, then alternatives are often feasible - at the level of public transport, asking a friend, etc. But if you take a large town with a large proportion of electric vehicles, then that is much less likely to work. Our infrastructure is such that walking or cycling is often not viable.

Even on my fairly heavy Rover SD1 with a not particularly large petrol tank, there is a noticeable difference in performance (when just the driver on board) between a full and near empty tank.

My LA has taken to putting road cones in front of them to stop that.

My destinations are usually at least a couple of days' motorway travel away. Whether or not I use the car once there will depend upon the destination. Places like Vienna or Berlin are best seen on foot or using public transport. The Black Forest is somewhere to tour around.

We already have road pricing of a sort. The further you drive, and the less efficient your car is, the more tax you pay on the fuel you use.
The only benefit from most of the proposals I've seen for road pricing would be a reduction in use of busy roads at peak times, which might save some road building.

Quite. Plus a (possibly misplaced) concern about environmental issues. That's a cost that has a price some are willing to pay.

Maybe it's where the weight is, unsettling the suspension? I would be surprised if such a lardy car's acceleration is affected much by 50-odd kg of fuel.
Me neither.

It never really was. Towns exist because we have motorised transport.
remove that and towns die.
which is probably going to happen,

er no, the less you drive and the more inefficient your car is the MORE tax you pay per mile.
A double whammy. Once on the fuel then on the car tax.
