Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery

I’ve found that the range of my EV is overkill in summer and about right in winter. I live in Minnesota, USA where the winters tend to be cold.

For you. What value does this comment add for everyone who, y'know, has different needs?

Indeed, this is basically tautological for current EV owners... everyone who needs a long range is still on fossil fuels for that very reason!

First time I encountered range and overkill in the same sentence. Does your car contain breakthrough battery technology? Solid state maybe? Also, is electricity plenty cheap where you charge?

I agree with the previous commenter. If you level 2 charge at home you have to drive a pretty preposterous distance to ever have range issues. Road trips are another story, but they are infrequent.
