@ars is not saying that; @ars is stating a minimum range threshold to buy an Electric Vehicle (EV).
I completely understand why would someone have such a threshold in USA.
For example, a round trip starting and finishing from/to a place that is a few hundred miles away from a big city. With ICE vehicle fueling during the trip is not a no-brainer. With EV, charging during the trip would take non-trivial planning if EV's range is, say, 300 miles. With 600 miles range it is easy -- just do it beforehand.
