> The charging issue and grid use is a massively overblown problem. You only need to charge your car for a few hours every 300 miles.

You are joking, right? 300 miles is 482 km. On paper, yes. What about reality?

See this CarWow video https://youtu.be/fvwOa7TCd1E?t=2240

- Volkswagen ID Buzz - 203 miles

- Mercedes EQA - 208 miles

- Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback - 235 miles

- Genesis GV60 - 253 miles

- Nissan Ariya - 267 miles

- Tesla Model Y - 285 miles

And those are big, bulky SUVs with big batteries. What about small/medium hatchbacks?

They will probably have 50-70% percent of that.

Test done in UK. What about colder countries, or countries where winters are cold?
