Range extender was definitely a requirement when I got mine in ‘19. But that’s because I did not have reliable charging available in the area.
It also came in handy for a bad road trip (charging stations more than my range apart, so I couldn’t otherwise get there from here, but hold state of charge kept it up at 75% with frequent gas stops)
