Cross your fingers and hope that the next model year gets the same battery size but but the tech improves so the range is greater. At some point hit the magic point where they can offer a 40 mile range with half the current battery size or say a 100 mile battery range with the same battery size as the current model.

Though I wonder if they could offer the 12 gallon fuel tank as an option? That could be attractive to some people. ie something akin to the larger fuel tanks offered on police cars etc.
