Long distance electric bike?

I've seen plenty of electric bikes, but they're usually cruiser bikes, designed for short distance riding. I wonder if there's a market for a road bike with an electric motor? I would think that mounting the battery and motor to as light and efficient bike as possible would result in longer range and faster speeds, right?

I think an electric road bike with a range of 40 miles or so would be a great idea, but is there a market for it?
