Historic Perspective on Range

Now that +300 mile range electric cars (and fast charging) are getting more common, how relevant is this article below?

The status quo of electric cars: better batteries, same range

The 2010 Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-MiEV have exactly the same range as the 1908 Fritchle Model A Victoria: 100 miles (160 kilometres) on a single charge


I know that when I was looking at used BMW i3 and i3Rex about 6-months ago (113-133 mile), range was an issue for me.

I did see a Mitsubishi i-MiEV in a parking lot and pointed it out to my friend, he said it looked like a death trap. Never read much good about them, but still think they look cool.
