I would not want to rely on the range staying constant. Cold temps will increase the series-R. Many charge/depletion cycles may reduce overall capacity. 86-mile range seems more like a conservative 25 or 30 miles each way.

No need to speculate. The range was actually tested and documented on the production Corbin Sparrows. ElectraMeccanica is upgrading the battery so I speculate a higher range with swappable battery options when the Solo hits the market. The Solo is not a concept vehicle, but rather a proven production vehicle that is having a serious body style facelift and some engineering upgrades.
Fans of this vehicle will not be waiting on E Builds. The high cost and long drawn out process of E builds and testing was done years ago by Corbin.

Elio, doesn't make yellow either. I have a yellow/white Mini cooper and a yellow Smart car, so I feel your pain there.

I,love this body style with the enclosed in the body front wheels!I think the Electrameccanica is deserving of its own thread.
I believe the prototype is to come in November with it being made in 2016.

Would work great for 95% of my driving. My "commute" is 16 miles one-way. My farthest trip "locally" would be to my granddaughter's and it's 32 miles 
For longer trips, I will use my smart and Elio and occasionally the motor home
