600 miles? Call me when they make one small enough to fit in a car

heyooooo

It’s such a dumb metric for batteries. I wish people would stop using it.

It's what people care about.

An EV that can only travel 300 miles on a charge is a complete nonstarter for me. It's simply not enough for trips I take with regularity.

How about the 2024 Ford Escape PHEV. 37 mile range on electric, which will cover most of dialy driving, and then it switches to gas. Should work out that you can pay 1/3 cost for fuel most percent of your driving, and not have to worry about long range trips. Base price is like 41k, meaning a used vehicle would drop quick.

Edit: apparently the 2025 now starts at 38k. So price came down didn't find range.
