It all depends on your needs.

The longest trip I took in the last 5 years was 400 km (250 miles) one way, twice.
Still needed to rest and eat along the way.

130 km (80 miles) trips are frequent though. A 300 km range should suit me fine for that. Wouldn't even need to charge at my destination.

The charger network over here is dense, so one could pretty much chance it on range and just take a 10 minute charge somewhere when it runs short.

Anyway, the road agency's advice over here is to rest for half an hour after every 2 hours of driving. Following that advice, anything with a range over 2 hours worth and a quick charge option would suffice.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
