It's about round trips in large cities. For example, if I want to drive from san jose to sf and then come back that is about 220km in one day for 2 hours on the highway.

I drive SF to SJ on the reg in a Bolt. With a 220 charger I recover charge overnight. My other commute is SF to Mountain View, I can recover that at night with a standard outlet set to 12A mode.

That's well within the range of most electric vehicles on the market.
