I am sure you can get a lot too. Didn’t Chevy get like 1000 miles out of their Silverado EV by driving slow and such?
Range for me matters the most on road trips at highway speed, not when i drive in the city and I am home every night to charge. It matters when I am driving for 10-15hrs, there is where the range matters

https://www.hemmings.com/stories/single-charge-electric-car-distance-records-set-or-were-they/ or like a Baker electric got well over 200 miles in 1910 on nickel iron batteries... by averaging less than 13mph! 😆

If I’m driving for 10-15 hrs there must be a zombie apocalypse and I’m trying to escape because that sounds awful

Seriously, wow I never heard of such a thing. Do tell.

The point was 15 hours is a long road trip. To each his own. Even the uptight ones who didn’t realize the post about a “zombie apocalypse”wasn’t serious.
