  In India, cities are much smaller if you go outside of metro cities. I own a scooter I bought 2.5 years ago. Had a 1kwh battery with a advertised 50km range. After over 25k usage, the charge holds good for about 35km. My daily commute is like 15 in a day. 20-25 at best. Cars are starting to be sold but they are still in its infancy. In a few years, I might buy a 200km range car which should last me a week+ of daily usage. For people who only live in the city, 200km seems enough. Unless you have to go long distances every often. I could say 200-300km is a good mileage for Indian roads and places because people don't go on 1000+km road trips to need a car that can do that. Maybe in the us because of long distances that is too little but here, the cost of a 800km vs 200km is a huge factor

  A lot of commercial truck usage is local deliveries from places like distribution centers to retail locations or from train yard to local manufacturing plant.
