I can't decide if this is trolling or not. I mean, it's an EV thread, so this kind of wild edge case gets repeated like it's everyone's use pattern instead of the 1 in a million case it really is.
Assuming it's true, there are damn few ICE vehicles that suit your needs either. You're looking at a full size (HD truck size) van. Chevy Express 3500 or something along those lines.
Though the few people I know that are in a remotely similar situation break it into two cars rather than try to find an 8 passenger daily driver.

Not trolling, and yeah went with a Suburban.
Point I was trying to make is not everyone’s needs can be satisfied by a sedan with a 300 mile range.

Didn't you hear? People aren't supposed to have large families anymore due to the "carbon footprint" or something.

I think you need a smaller family.
Define “better”? I need something to haul around a family of eight with enough towing capacity to add some fun to those trips. They don’t even make an EV that ticks those boxes, let alone something “better”.
