Unfortunately, that's a pretty hard sell when your work day requires more mileage than that, and you want to get home asap.
What percentage of people realistically drive more than 300km per day? We're talking 2.5-3h on the road per day, not taking traffic into account. Extrapolating 300km per day, over 49 weeks a year, 5 days a week, that's just shy of 74000km. Who drives that, outside people whose job it is to drive stuff lol?
It doesn't have to be "per day" - it needs to be often enough that they'll be deterred from getting an EV.
Look, I'm pro-EV, but I think it's important to acknowledge that in a country as big as this one, there are going to be people with justified "range anxiety."
Sure. It is not what the comment I was responding to was referring to.
