Am I the only one who thinks this is complete overkill? 49/52 weeks a year, I never use more than 15% of my battery on any given day. I don't need 600 miles of range, heck, 400 with a nine minute charge would be incredible. Basically drive 4-5 hours then stop for a bathroom break or bite to eat then keep going.
600 miles of range is amazing, plus you have to realize that it doesn't always keep that 600 mile range. Also most people don't charge their battery to a 100%, for longevity they only charge up to 80% for the health of the battery
