I don't think that's accurate either, though. I charged from 5% to the max daily limit (not the trip limit) in 25 minutes and it gave me approximately 264 miles. When I last charged to the full trip limit, I had 314 miles on the car and that took about 40 minutes.
So, even if I just charged every time to the daily limit, I'd still have about the same range as a gas car and I can't fill up my gas car at home on a regular basis. That benefit alone outweighs the cons of a slightly longer trip for me.
PS. Slow down. ;). If you're only getting 160 miles from the daily charge, you're driving pretty fast or using up power in some other way.
