Electric car sales suffer a jolt:


Low gasoline prices discourage sales of EV's

Some facts from the Houston Chronicle story:

EV sales 116K in 2015 vs 122K in 2014.

Going from Houston to Dallas in a Leaf would require two stops with charging times totaling 20 hours.

As I've noted, driving range and recharge times haven't really improved for EV's over the past century.

That's always going to be a problem for EV's. Drivers need to plan their driving around their battery needs.
