You're right.

Actually I was looking into getting one of the early models - perhaps even a plug-in hybrid - that wasn't yet equipped with all the surveillance gear and internet connectivity I dread, and having it refurbished. Even if the original range was, say, 120 miles and it only gets half of that because the battery is worn out, and half of that again because I live in a cold climate, I still get 30 miles in the winter and that's enough for me because the most I would drive is 20 miles between charges - basically for commuting.
