    In the real world, people don’t regularly drive 600 miles in a hurry either.

      Most people don’t, but some do. I did for a while, when I was working as a construction manager and then again as a generator technician. It’s a big country, with all kinds of people. I think you’d be surprised how many people frequently need to drive ling distances in a hurry.

        I’m sure there are people, but I think you’d be surprised how few there are. The vast majority of people make long trips very infrequently - to the point that most could hire a car or find some other means for those situations.

        Yes, but if only those people who need that drove ICE cars, BEVs would have a 90% market share.

          Sure, but first you have to make an EV that 90% of people can afford. And make enough of them for 90% of the market to buy. And maybe do something about interest rates while we’re at it. Also, I could use a back rub. And world peace, maybe.

            Best I can do is a 12-year financing plan at 18% interest and oh, you’re fired.
