This is a common misconception about EVs. The stated range is for the EPA range, not on open roads at 80MPH (typical speeds on I-10 between Phoenix and LA). Even Tesla’s longest range Model, a Model S, with a 405 mile “range” needs to charge TWICE on the Phoenix to LA drive. This is only a 373 mile drive, and assumes you start completely full. From the 405 mile advertised range, you’d think you could drive Phoenix to LA, and arrive with enough charge to still drive to dinner. One of my most annoying revelations in owning a Tesla. https://www.tesla.com/trips#/?v=MS_2020_LongRange&o=Phoenix,%20AZ,%20USA_Phoenix%20Maricopa%20County%20AZ@33.4483771,-112.0740373&s=&d=Los%20Angeles,%20CA,%20USA_Los%20Angeles%20Los%20Angeles%20County%20CA@34.0549076,-118.242643 https://www.tesla.com/trips#/?v=MS_2020_LongRange&o=Phoenix,...
