If it had a reliable 500 miles between charge, plus minus 50 mi depending on drive, I would be fine with it. My primary complaint with EVs is that right now they don't have the distance to make me happy with them.

I want to be able to get into a vehicle and drive for 6 hours straight without a charge reliably for the life of the vehicle.

I won't do that very often, but it's still something that is a make or break option for me.

500 miles? I mean, that would be awesome but are you able to go that far on a tank now?

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

If it's all highway miles, yes, I get about 36 miles to the gallon on a 15 gallon tank. Mixed driving I get closer to 28 mpg. 2020 Chevy Malibu.

I'm curious what your current vehicle is and what the range is?

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

In between 350 and 550 miles per tank depending on how I'm driving it (city vs hwy).

It's a 2020 Chevy Malibu premiere.
