Do you really think most people need to be able to drive 7 hours without stopping?Yes.
Start at 1000 mile EPA range, then:
- You only really would use 80% of that range. Maybe charge to 100 or 90%, then go to 10-20% as "empty". You are at ~800 miles now.
- I'll be generous and say you'll lose only 35% by driving the way most people do with an ICE vehicle, i.e. full A/C in summer, heat in winter, 75+MPH on the freeway, not "hypermiling" type driving, normal key-off losses, etc. Now you are at somewhere around 500 miles of range.
This should be sufficient for most people to cover 99%+ of there typical vehicle usage.
