    It just feels like way too low to me. Maybe you’re right and it’s not, but nowadays I get some 600 km (some 370 miles according to Google) from my petrol-based car for a full tank and I’m quite used to that.

    Anyway, to paraphrase you a bit, I’ve looked at the prices of EVs and decided I’m not in that much of a hurry to switch to them.

      The main difference is you mostly don’t take them somewhere special to fill them up, so you aren’t thinking about “how long before I have to fill up again”.

      An EV charges overnight and starts off each day with a full charge, so it’s all about daily usage and long trips. Going days without charging isn’t a useful thing to do, where filling a gas car every day would be a pain in the ass.

      Prices are still fairly high, but they’re dropping fast and the used market is picking up steam.
