Personal commentary… I wouldn’t consider any car with less than a 300 mile range, so I was stunned to see 3 cars below 200(!) That’s just useless. If all you want is in town driving, which is all they’re good for, you might as well save the money and ride a bus.

In terms of overall value, and I recognize that’s subjective, but in terms of how much range you get for the price you pay, I was surprised to see how competitive Tesla was:
Fisker Ocean $41,437 360 $115/mile
Hyundai Kona Electric $34,050 261 $130/mile
Tesla Model Y $44,630 330 $135/mile

I’m hearing from a lot of owners that range isn’t as big a deal they initially thought it was. Many say that they never drove 200 miles on a charge during their ownership of rhe EV. I’m sure that’s very context dependent, but it got me thinking about why I’d need 300 miles on a charge and I’m not sure if I have a good answer.
Because all of my cars have had at least 300 miles on a tank of gas. :) I regularly visit a town 120 miles away, if I can’t get there and back on one charge, there’s no point.
That’s certainly relevant context for wanting more range, but even with 80% degradation of a battery originally rated for a 240 mile range, you wouldn’t need to spend much time charging at the intermediate destination before returning home to make the round trip with plenty of range to spare in each direction.
But I get it, people who regularly drive longer distances will want more range, that makes sense. My original pount is that many people don’t and they could be paying a lot more for what they’re not actually using. This is especially true for families with multiple vehicles.
Because I’m a giant data nerd:

The standard Tesla went down in price-ish. That and everything went up in price.
Used electric has also went down quite a bit from last year. Its better but still not at the level the average consumer can take advantage of.
