    anybody who can charge at home doesn’t need more than 100 mile range for their second vehicle

    Wow way to throw nuance and individual needs totally out of the window.

    Do you even take yourself seriously?

      Sorry, “most people”.

      50% of Americans live in detached housing and could fairly easily get a home charging set up. Of those Americans who own more than one vehicle, I would assume that they rarely need to drive both vehicles over a long distance since I’m assuming that most families can fit into one car.

      100 miles is more than enough for the average 30-40 mile American commute, but obviously not enough for a road trip.

      Sorry for the oversimplification. I’m mostly reacting to many EV detractors who want to replace their 2-3 350 mile range ICE vehicles with what they see as equivalent 350 mile range EVs when the use case (as this article points out) is entirely different.

      I personally own a 300 mile range EV, and I rarely use more than 20% of its battery in a day.
