Everyone's worried about the range, but the reality is that the range doesn't matter at all in city driving, and OTOH no BEV will have range long enough for a serious road trip, and it will have to recharge multiple times. And then the difference is whether the charging stops will be quick coffee breaks, or add frustrating hours to the trip time.
Here's another data source of 1000km trips in various BEVs with charging time:
- With a fast-charging EV, a 1000km trip can be only half an hour slower than a cannonball run in an ICE car, or can be 5 hours slower in a Nissan Leaf, or 3 hours slower in a Toyota bz4x.
