I’m telling you no matter how you want to justify the vehicle, or the range anxiety, or the sitting at charging stations for hours - they are not replacements for ICE vehicles. They’re excellent town cars though.
It’s been an assumption trap on both sides. The current gen of EV marketing will go down in history books.
You can drive that far at -40C with pretty much even the most beat down first gen Nissan Leaf with an original battery.
And if you can charge at home (like you should if you own an EV), the battery will be at 100% every single morning. So you'll spend around 15 seconds plugging the car in the charger when you come home and 7.8 seconds taking it off the charger.
And with all the money you save on gas by using electricity for commuting, you can buy a huge Mad Max style ICE with 500 gallon tanks you can use to drive coast to coast without stopping to refuel once :D
You need the asterisk there and an explanation that says "for my use".
There are clear and gaping holes in the EV line, mostly for American use-cases where people "need" a F250 crew cab as a commuter and their electric grid will crap out if you plug in too many Christmas lights. And America also has an abundance of people who regularly (As in daily or weekly) commute/travel distances that would take one across 1-3 countries in Europe.
On this side of the big wet bit, there are far fewer holes, but they do exist. There's an abundance of compacts, sedans and normal-sized SUVs - all of which are perfectly enough for day to day use.
Mine does 200-250km comfortably during the warmer months and 150km-ish when it's -20C. The last time I plugged in to a charger other than the one at my house or my parent's was last September when we did a longer road trip as a family and I wasn't sure about the destination hotel's charging situation.
If I need to haul insane loads, I can hire a massive van for 10€/hour. Or I can just pay to have stuff delivered.
