Sounds reasonable. 180 miles (300 km) would last the average driver about one week. If charging options are plenty, fast and working well, this could be enough.
Totally insufficient for my use-case.
I commute 65 miles each way for work. Assuming a 50% range loss during the winter months, I'd need at least 195 miles of range at the barest possible minimum. I'd prefer at least 50 miles of buffer to account for any errands I might need to run in addition to the commute, that's 245 miles.
This is a fading way of life, not progress.
Less travel, more energy, more time, less carbon output.
Great. Mandate WFH and build public transit then. Until that's done, we need cars.
