Oh come on. The US workforce is over 160 million people. 2.2 million out of that is “typical”?

It's... over 2 million people/vehicles. That's more than population of some countries.

So? “Typical” has nothing to do with how the absolute number compares to other countries. Do your not know what the word means, or are you just being extremely obtuse?

So, you're the one talking about "typical". I am pointing out that there is a rather significant market where current EVs are not workable (FCV would be, if they were reasonably priced, though). And that market really is larger than just people with long commutes. My commute is short enough, but I would end up paying more to charge than I pay for gas, and spending an 30-40 minutes each day just getting to where the car is.
