> How often do you actually drive 200+ miles in a single day?

At least once a week we're close enough that 200 miles is our "with a reasonable safety margin" number.

BTW - when I'm driving 400 miles in a day, I don't spend an hour eating lunch on the way. (It's very hard to average 50 miles an hour, so 400 miles is around 8 hours. I've actually done far more, and you can't do that if you're off the road.) And, why are you assuming that the lunch place will have the relevant charging station?



It sounds like this car would not be a good fit for you. I would recommend that you not purchase one.


I was responding to the insinuation that needing to drive 200+ miles regularly is almost unknown and the claim that an hour-long charge is acceptable for long distance trips.

In other words "nobody needs what it doesn't do" is wrong as is "it can handle that situation".
