Let me also add that one problem is that people have am ICE mind set when switching to an EV. Many people think they "need" to be able to drive 3 or 4 hours non stop because that is what they currently do. But it's OKAY to stop every 2 or 2 and a 1/2 hours. This would imply around 150 miles. Even given all the margin you wanna keep, a 300 mile range more than covers it.
Those working on an office environment know that you are not supposed to stay on your desk from 1pm to 5pm. It is just not healthy to stay seating for that long. You take a break.
And think about, in a 10 hours trip, if you can drive non stop for 4 hours, you have to stop 2 times. If you stop every 2 and 1/2 hours, you stop 4. Given 30 minutes per stop, we are comparing 12 to 11 hours. The difference is not even 10 percent of the trip. Is it really worth the extra money and environmental impact of a large battery pack? Personally I don't think so.
But granted, for some people charging stations are not available even if they want to stop every 2 hours. And with towing those margins can get too thin. So I am not going to say no one needs the large battery. But what I see is that for most people who wants it, it's more of a luxury than a need.
