I'd be less concerned about sig figs and more about real-world battery chemistry, load limits, charging times, risk of fire, etc.
Even if they rounded it to 600 mi, that's still huge. It's less about the precision, since batteries are inherently imprecise, and more about whether this can live up to the marketing...
- xhkkffbf 2y agoI would rather have a battery pack that's half the size and half the price because 300 miles is enough for most of my work. Really I would be fine with 100 miles in about 45-50 weeks/year.
- solardev 2y agoI haven't looked in a while, but I think there are already several with ~200 mi of range (Leaf, Kona, etc.) and a few with ~300 (Equinox, Ioniq, etc.). Are those not enough? They don't really seem that much more expensive than comparable gas cars, either.
- DennisP 2y agoPlenty of people do want longer range though. Also, trucks could use longer range, and aviation definitely needs longer-range batteries.
