Give me a new El Camino EV with a 400 mile range and I'm in.
All my road trips are around 150 miles and there may or may not be a charger at the destination.
The article says range isn't important...if you've ever looked at a map of the US, you'll see why that's a misguided statement.
To be fair, most people aren't driving across the US on an even yearly basis, if ever in their lives.
400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.
I think you underestimate how many people never leave their home city
