285 miles on the highway isn't bad but that's only in mild weather. People in the North (American and Europe) live six months of the year in cold weather. Then they get 217 miles on the highway. In Europe this isn't even three hours of driving. And this is one of the best ranges on an EV under $70k.

I mean this is just what abouting and hunting for edge cases where you can feel good for being camp gas-car. And I guess that is fine.

I am just saying that having lived with a reasonable family-EV for a year, there has been nothing that would make me regret the decision.

Someone trying to convince me that I should have regrets is just gaslighting.

It's a very common scenario for hundreds of millions of people. I'm really happy that your EV works for your family's use case. It doesn't work for mine.
