Anyone hesitating to buy an electric car for fear they will end up low on battery and stranded far from a charging station should reconsider.

A new study from researchers at MIT finds almost 90 percent of the trips taken in gas-powered vehicles could be taken in electric vehicles without affecting drivers’ habits.

What’s more, that could be done even assuming the battery capacity of affordable EVs that are currently available on the market.

Available, low-cost electric vehicles could replace 87 percent of trips taken in gas-powered vehicles and still meet consumers’ transportation needs according to a recent MIT study.
