I agree. What matters is how much range YOU need. I've driven EVs since the 1970's, and have never needed them to go over 50-100 miles on a charge. The EVs are my daily driver, and I don't drive farther than that on a daily basis. When I need more range, I'm going on a trip; so then I use an ICE car. Since 90% of my driving is local, 90% of my driving is EV. That's not 100%; but the perfect is the enemy of the good. I'm not willing to pay the Tesla premium for a perfect 100% EV solution. -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James -- Lee A.
