They'll probably never sell a 500mi EV just like they don't sell cars that go 500mi on a tank. EPA range on most cars will touch 400mi but that's about it. If anything, gas tanks are getting smaller as fuel efficiency goes up. Gas tanks take space, carry a heavy fuel that, in turn, reduces fuel economy, and so on. Batteries cost money. The only reason to make an EV with a greater range than most gas cars is if recharging is slow. The range then offsets charge time on the rare roadtrip. If you can charge your car quickly, suddenly there's not even a reason to have more than 200mi range. Already the 310mi range on our Tesla 3 seems a bit excessive when I've only had to supercharge it twice, and mostly I just get home and don't bother plugging it in because it doesn't NEED a charge every day.
