Assuming drivers have access to plug-in charging, I doubt the large-scale need for 150 mile+ ranges, or even 100.

There will be a market for short-duration exchanges between ICE and short-range electric car owners for long trips.

Or just rentals of long-range vehicles (or trunk-battery-packs) for those with short-range vehicles that meet 99% of their needs.

Or an increased demand for long-range travel systems such as airplanes, buses, railroads, and/or zeppelins. America has fetishized the long distance road trip for a long time, but it's not the only way to travel.
