If your commute is only 9 km each way then every EV now sold will do a a whole week or perhaps two of commuting plus shopping, etc., on a single charge. The 16 kmiles/year quoted by the Frontier Group is not really all that much. It's an average of only 70 km per day. I know several people personally who commute daily further than that here in Norway and I see plenty of people doing it in EVs. Again most current EVs can do at least four days of that on a single charge. Certainly my ancient 2015 Tesla S70D can and most newer cars have more range. The mean distance probably obscures a distribution which includes a minority that drives far more than the average, it would be interesting to know the median distance too. I've just returned to Norway from France in my Tesla. It was 2 700 km (almost 1 700 miles) and charging was not a problem.
