I recently drove 740 miles in a day and as someone that drives a lot of cars for a very long time, there's no way I could do that without stopping a few times. Even a recent 400-mile trek required a few stops. So when someone says EVs need 500 miles of range to fit into their road-trip life. lolno

My salesman dad used to drive from Boston back home to northern NJ without stopping and made a point to do it with me once. About 275 miles down I-84. I'm sure there are truckers out there who could easily push it further

In college, I regularly drove from Oberlin to NYC and back. 500 miles or eight hours is about as long as I ever wanted to drive without stopping when I was 21, and that's still true today. Truckers can go much longer, but most "civilians" need a break after that long, and justifiably so.

We sort of understand the 500 mile range IF we are factoring in ONLY charging to 80% i.e 400 miles. When you factor in how long it can take to simply register for a charger + charge time/outages/in use we get it. Not to mention cost. Versus 400 miles and then L2 charge at destination cheaply.

I can see it for trucks if you actually tow a lot or someone who just needs to go way off the main travel routes and back without charging but that’s kind of an edge case
