1,000 miles of range, it said, and requires refills of distilled water about every 200 miles.
My car has a range of 6000 miles. That is how often I have to stop to change the motor oil. Of course, I also have to stop every 300 miles to get some gas.

I think it is 1000 miles of range until you have to replace the batteries entirely, which really isn't very far. It's not quite enough range to get you from Boston to Atlanta.

Who the hell drives from Boston to Atlanta?
Have you ever heard of an airplane?
If the batteries are no more expensive than 1000 miles worth of gasoline it could still work. I have my doubts about that price though.

I don't drive from Boston to Atlanta, but I do drive between DC and Northern New York and that is only 400 miles, but it is another 400 miles back. In the current air travel environment it is not worth it to fly that distance, and train service to my destination is inconvenient to say the least. So, an electric that gave me 1,000 miles range would start making electrics quite viable for me as my primary vehicle.
Of course, that is assuming that the technology didn't require some ridiculous expense to opera

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev probably had plans to do that a few days ago.

Not when there's Amtrak.
