Citroen have a model that's about 70% more expensive than the petrol
(gasoline) version of the same car, and does 80 miles on a charge. They
are for sale where I live, and several public car parks have been
fitted with charging stations.

We are a slightly special case, though, in an island only 35 miles long,
80 miles on a charge can be sufficient. (Indeed, as a commuter vehicle,
it'd probably work most places).

Is that the thing that is essentially the Mitsubishi i-MiEV?

Mitsubishi claims 100 miles under "ideal" conditions and indepedant testers
report about 60 is the realistic expectation.

Due to go on sale in the US in late 2011 for an estimated $30,000.
