I believe a 100 mile range is enough for a city car or secondary car. I have an older Leaf and it’s fine for that. We’ll get a plug in hybrid soon to replace

I believe a 100 mile range is enough for a city car or secondary car. I have an older Leaf and it’s fine for that. We’ll get a plug in hybrid soon to replace the primary car (minivan).
Even at 300 mikes range, my wife would not drive an EV, due to range anxiety. She won’t even drive my Leaf (she calls it a golf cart). This range anxiety is all psychological, and it’s the main thing hindering EV adoption.
- hexane360 9y agoMany cars don't even get 300 miles, although it's true you can "recharge" them much quicker. One thing I'm not sure about: how long lasting are typical EV batteries? Because I can see not wanting to buy a car that will have half its range a few years down the road.
