How the hell is distance/charge a useless number? It's not like you can pull into a station and recharge it while you're out driving. That would be way more important in buying a fully electric car than how efficient it is at charging. If car A had a 200mi/chg and car B had a 100mi/chg, I guarantee car A would sell 20 times more.
