Agree. I worry manufacturers are going to consider a range near 300 miles or 500 km “enough”. Many people in the US at least live in rural places where a 300 mile round trip might be needed weekly or even daily (for “shorter” distances like 200 miles that could still challenge a battery on a hot/cold day).

- zamalek 5y agoYou wouldn't need fast charging for a 300mi trip, assuming you had level 1 charging at your destination. 300mi daily may be too much for at-home level 1, but at-home level 2 (washer/dryer plug) isn't hard to install at all.
