Re:Modern EV Batteries Rarely Fail: Study by theshrike79 on Saturday April 27, 2024 @11:49AM (#40180871)
Like I said, most people don't need more than a "town car". The average American commute is 42 miles per day (~68km in regular units).

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
