    15 min for 200mi

    vs

    5 min for 600mi

    Totally equivalent right?

    It’s annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I’d require for my typical drives.

      600 is a lot. Are you talking about a hybrid?

      My ICE 2015 Cooper and 2019 Volvo S60 float around 300-350mi of range. Which, is right about what all the top EVs get with their extended range battery options.

      But get what works for you. A smaller 200mi entry level battery would be more than enough for my needs. Even with a long trip, I actually want to stop and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
