"By default" just rubs me the wrong way. Didn't need to think, because default. Won't question default, because default.

Anything enough to not get stranded in the middle of nowhere during a road trip, at least enough to go between 2 or 3 fast-charging outlets en route from my hometown Porto Alegre to Curitiba, as in a regular car considering no more than 2 stops at gas stations for refuelling. |

So at least 350 kilometers between charges? Probably half of current all electrics could get that.

Yet it would still not be suitable for some regional routes inside Rio Grande do Sul, due to the absence of fast-charging outlets. Range anxiety is still much of an issue, and most vehicles which could be considered reasonable to fit such a reasonably sized battery pack while remaining compact enough for a normal usage would be either harder to certify here, or need substantial improvements to the aerodynamics in order to retain a good highway range.
