First, because I’ve found traditional ICE mileage estimations get progressive worse the lower you go under 100.
Second, because I grew up in Jersey, and still drive there regularly to visit family, and in Jersey you just never know if the gas station coming up at night is going to be open or not. Because all pumps are full service and you can’t pump your own gas, this is a real concern.
Third, because even in NY, the closest pump near me that’s guaranteed to be open after 9:30 is almost a half hour drive away.
Fourth, because my wife is terrible about not getting gas, and I’ve had days where I’ve left the car with a quarter tank, gotten in it the next day, and had 10-15 miles of range.
