Completely unsurprised. Just consider the energy density of gasoline or a modern EV battery.

The fact remains that a full EV battery can really take you a long ways.

It really can't.

A fully charge bolt (when it's still new) will take you about 250 miles.

You won't find a gas car that can't go 300 miles on a tank.

I currently have an old prius (which is admittedly far above average compared to regular cars) and it can go 450 miles on a tank.

And that tank gets filled up faster than the time it takes to walk inside and buy a bag of chips.
