It probably doesn’t work for people who drive for a living all day long.

I have plenty of family members that have one "do everything" car. Every year, every one of them take plenty of trips that would require them to refuel on the go. Their single car needs to meet that need without being "a burden". Like anything else, it's the last 10% of use cases that require 90% of the work to resolve.

Yes, yes it does. I live in the middle of CT and I have to drive White Plains, NY for most of my jet trips. Only good news is often times I'm gone for days. They don't have EV charging stations on the private side of the airport though. BRZ is a great car for me though because it's highly maneuverable and NYC traffic is free-for-all, lol.

The larger batteries provide more range to reduce range anxiety and to be there when owners need more range, and they help with performance. They probably help with recharging speeds too.

You and I are talking circles around the same argument, but in general we agree. EVs work for some, work with compromise for others, and for some its not an answer to anything at all. There are EV-Nuts though that think everyone that isn't buying an EV right now are just being stupid and want to kill the planet. EVs, with existing battery tech, will never be as ubiquitous as ICE however.

Range anxiety mostly. I have an 80 mile a day round trip commute. I would not do it in a car that did not have at least a 160 mile range, assuming I couldn't plug in at work. If I had a 20 mile round trip commute every day I would do it in a 50 mile range car, but what percentage of the population really have a 10 mile or less drive to work?
