This is the right question - people who have never owned an EV vastly overestimate the range they'll need, almost always.

Usually 200-300km is good enough range for most ppl on US. For other countries, I've found 150km to be more than sufficient.


Overnight charging from a heater outlet is usually sufficient for normal daily use.

Weekends usually add 100-200 km range easily in case the daily usage is slightly higher than daily overnight charge.

Charging at office is also an increasingly possible option.
