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.
Yea....no. Most of the USA is rural areas, range is a huge deal.
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.
Not to be a dick but do you realize how rural rural America is?
They have electricity there, don't they?
To be a dick, have you actually measured distances between gas stations in rural America and thought about how this would work if we replaced them with chargers?
I'm not saying we shouldn't but range is important especially to rural drivers.. and super important to wide scale adoption
Range is basically solved for the vast majority of the population at this point. There are chargers every few hundred kilos along all main interstates. Apart from those living out in extremely rural locations or living situations like apartments where you can't charge at home, you'd be fine. For those that fall into that category...well, don't buy an EV, lol.
