That kind of range is a different vehicle. My 500e I bought for 7k. It's the perfect commuter.
Do you really NEED to be able to drive 300 miles every day? If so, battery isn't likely for you. And if you don't need to, why cry that it can't?
Because I need to drive 300 miles every few months and a car I own that can do that is cheaper than a car that can't and renting something that can for the few times I need it. Rental cars are expensive and most come with per mile charges on top of the daily rate.
It takes less than twenty minutes to charge enough to make that in any modern ev. Unless you’re filling up on gas before your trips anyway, you’re still gonna have to stop. The difference in time is negligible.
Not even 20 minutes. If you are doing 300 miles, you probably only need to sit on the charger for maybe an extra 100 miles of charge. That is maybe 5-10 minutes.
Or if you get something like the Equinox EV, you may not have to charge during that trip at all.
