Currently that is true, which is why true EV (SUV/sport car/etc.) really is not a viable option yet for the mass market. Though current battery tech in testing phases are a lot better and use a lot less pollution for creation, but anything in the testing phase is always 10 years from consumer hands.
Also, some of the battery tech in testing can run a current gen smartphone (iPhone 4S or Galaxy Note) for a week
with usage, which when translated into larger production you can possibly create a range of 300+ miles for a large SUV.
