Wonder what ludicrous range will get folks to buy an EV for their 20 miles of total driving in a day

The 1% trips drive sales. With a gas car I can drive 300 miles and then find fuel anywhere and get another 300 miles. Most of the time I don't make those long trips, but I do a few times per year.

This is a wild realization. Like I don’t need to go 300+ miles more then once a year or so but I WANT THE OPTION TO.

Realistically - give me a 100 mile range cheap good EV and let me rent something for the rare road trip.

Have you priced the cost of a rental car? It quickly is cheaper to just buy a car for allowed trips.
