If you could have a much longer range, then you could put up with more hassle to charge, which in turn could make some technologies feasible that would not be with lesser range.

For an extreme example, if you can go long enough on one charge then it might be feasible to use a non-rechargeable battery and replace it when it is out.

Believe it or not that has actually been considered. There is a company or two working on EVs using aluminum air batteries. Those are among the highest energy density available in batteries, comparable to gasoline. They are currently used in some military applications for aircraft and submarines.

The claim I've seen is that you could do an EV with these that would have a 2000 km range using less battery weight than current lithium ion EVs use. As I said, these aren't rechargeable, so every ~1800 km you'd have to take it in for a battery swap.

Presumably they would design these cars so that this would be a fairly easy operation. The dead battery would be sent back to the manufacturer for recycling. As the battery is used, the aluminum anodes become oxidized. The manufacturer can replace the anodes, and can extract the aluminum from the aluminum oxide and use that for making new anodes.
