I wish people would stop obsessing so much over range. Once we have decent charging infrastructure in place and people overcome all the FUD, this will simply cease to be relevant.
You just need a charging station every hundred kilometres or so, that's perfectly doable even in sparsely populated areas. In fact, this kind of infrastructure is far easier to roll out than gas stations.
Yep. People in the city, EVs are fine. For those of us who haul or have to drive farther than 20 miles it becomes an issue. It's not there just yet for us. I'm still holding out for hydrogen ICE motors.

Yea....no. Most of the USA is rural areas, range is a huge deal.

I'd rather not refuel in -20F weather on a single trip. Add in a trailer and a road trip becomes a charging trip with intermittent driving.
Yeah, we should make all our infrastructure decisions based on the rarest edge cases.

Where do you get the idea from that an EV only has 20 miles of range? Have you ever even seen an EV let some driven one?
