If one has a 100 mile daily commute, then perhaps a 250+ mile range EV makes sense.
For everyone else, a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) makes the most sense because it achieves the ability to drive most miles on electrons while eliminating range anxiety, at a lower overall cost.
Going for 400+ miles of range in an EV is absurd except for the very few people on earth that regularly have around a 300 mile trip.
Once speed of recharge is addressed, it will vastly reduce the demand for more range. Hardly anyone wants to go more than 200 miles without stopping.
