I can.Let me put it in terms you will understand. 68kwhr x 3.3miles/kw = 224 miles, 68kwhr x 3.85miles/kw = 261.8
How can anyone argue just add more batteries instead on working on efficiency?
The more you depend on efficiency the more unpredictable that range becomes. The slightest change in wind direction and you are in a$$ pucker zone.
10 kwh of extra batteries is in the neighborhood of $1000 now. considering the cooling, packaging electronics, etc is already on board. by 2030 it will on the order of $500. Manufacturers are largely focused on packing on the kwh's right now and that is how they should go. For an SUV my guess is 120kwh should be a minimum.
With EV's efficiency is way over rated. No one wants to know what the hyper-mile range that no mere mortal person can achieve is. I and everyone wants a consistent range figure we can count on.
