The advertised range is for 100% of the battery capacity, right? I believe you're supposed to charge the battery before it gets below 30% and up to 90%. So that leaves 60% of useable range, correct? So a 500 mile range truck should really only be driven up to 300 miles before it should be charged. For local driving, even half of that would be great. For people who drive more, it is definitely something to consider. That is why I wouldn't want a truck with less than 500 miles of advertised range.
