Electric powered cars.

I, and no doubt other members listened to the Jeremy Vine radio show today.
One topic I found interesting was about electric cars, not duel fuel, or petrol/electric hybrids, just pure leccy.
One interesting factoid was that most of us only drive about 20 miles a day.
The car is then plugged into the mains to re charge the batteries, overnight.(The electric one, that is)

A Peugeot “Chappie” stated his Companies car returned a range of 95 miles, the most of any electric powered car.I somewhat feel that this will not take off, the reason I submit is that if one wants to travel further than 95 miles, I for one would use my petrol engined car, and leave the all electric car at home.Also, what about the Carbon emmissions the power stations would expell to produce the electricity for these cars?.
Anyone care to comment?.;)
