This is such a short-sighed headline, because it's baiting people into snarkily answering "last week".

The reality is that the vast majority of people don't drive more than 150 miles a day except on rare occasions. And, for families with more than one car (which is a lot of people), it's not unreasonable that their second car be of a more limited range. Further complicating things is the recharging story - something that will only get better over time.

I'm not saying electric cars "have arrived", but they're going to; however, acting like they have for everyone just makes you look foolish. Writing this title as a question was a mistake, imo, and frames the argument poorly.

e: By the way: 300 miles is at least 4 hours in a car, not including breaks. It's not unreasonable to take a 20 minute break to recharge during a 4+ hour car ride - and while you're at, plug your car in as well. A better headline might have been: "When was the last time you drove 8 hours?"
