Give me a new El Camino EV with a 400 mile range and I'm in.

All my road trips are around 150 miles and there may or may not be a charger at the destination.

The article says range isn't important...if you've ever looked at a map of the US, you'll see why that's a misguided statement.

95% of trips are 30 miles or less. Of course everyone is the exception, we’re all above average drivers here.

That's a terrible statistic...of course most of my travel happens around where I live.

If anything...that actually reveals long trips are more common than you think...For every 19 times you go to work or the store the 20th trip is significant...

In other words, if your number I right...Once to Twice a month the average person would likely require an extended range EV.
