I asked this question to the Tesla rep at the summer meet and she said that it tends to be swings and roundabout - i.e. that the uphill bits were compensated by the downhill bits / regenerative braking. The range thing (320 miles-ish) was short of my journey home by 3 miles which meant that the integral Google maps had me doing a detour thru' Edinburgh to get to somewhere north of Glasgow. I think you may find that journey distances in Holland tend to be shorter than here making the range issue less of a problem besides which they tend to be good at integrated transport infrastructure.
