Give me a new El Camino EV with a 400 mile range and I'm in.

All my road trips are around 150 miles and there may or may not be a charger at the destination.

The article says range isn't important...if you've ever looked at a map of the US, you'll see why that's a misguided statement.

To be fair, most people aren't driving across the US on an even yearly basis, if ever in their lives.

Just city to city is typically at least 150mi one way. Maybe on the southern coasts, if I was really a homebody, could I get away with something under 150mi range.

There's no way anyone in Texas is going anywhere in a standard range EV for example.
