We have a GEM and it has one of the lower ranges for an electric vehicle (30 miles). It has worked out fine for us. There have been a number of times where we'll take it out all morning, put 20-25 miles on it, bring it home and charge it for a couple of hours, and then take it back out to got to the squares or out to dinner. We have yet to need to be towed. It works fine for our needs, but I could certainly see how some folks would want a range of 100 miles+.
