    155 mile range, well that’s a local commuter car, that’s it. The masses need things besides a local commuter car.

      There’s also an ID.2all that’s more geared towards the masses: https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id-2all

      Personally this car would cover any drive I do except going to my parents and back (where I’d have to charge… at home here and at my parents there… so still fine really)

      That’s 2 days of the longest work commute I’ve ever had. If the owner drives their daily then comes home and plugs it in I doubt it will ever be a problem. I’ve never heard range complaints from anyone that actually owns an ev either. There’s also a lot of people that have brought up road trips but none of the ones I know IRL have gone on road trips with their gas cars. I can’t see it as much more than people just don’t want to give up their cancer fumes.

        It’s totally fine if it works for people, but I regularly drive long distance, and limited range means planning everything around that.

        I have been looking at aptera, which might have longer range due to being aerodynamic and efficient. That’s what I want to see offered more for EVs. Problem is, it’s not a reality until it’s available for sale.
