I wish auto manufacturers focused on extending EV range then FSD. the buzz so much but nobody is bothered about bringing extended range to masses. People who want entry level ev can't sit for 40 minutes every week at a supercharger.

I leased a 2020 Leaf last year due to the killer deals. I went with the S-Plus for the extra range. Now driving it around for a few months, I’d rather go with the lower range model because: 1- cost, 2-I’ve found that 99% of my driving falls within 75 miles, and 3-charging infrastructure is improving quickly.

If you’re going to do long distance road trips or drive for Uber or something then you should probably buy a Hybrid. Otherwise, 150 miles feels pretty good to me, 250 is almost overkill.

Tesla's base Model 3 has solid range. Maybe that's not "entry level", they are working on a lower priced car too.

Regardless, few people with electric cars are waiting 40 minutes every week. Most charge at home and only hit charging on long trips.

Aptera seems like it could be pretty interesting in this regard.
