Make small, affordable EVs. Range is a non-issue.
How is range a non issue?
The absolute majority of trips are short, combined with EV infrastructure getting better every day and still has lots of room to grow.
That’s true, but when people pay a fuck ton of money to buy a car, the expectation is that it will be able to handle longer trips as well. Sure, your every day may be to the supermarket and back, but you also want to load up the skis and go to the local mountain on the weekend, or to the beach in summer, meaning many hours driving in potentially very hot or cold weather - which affects the battery.
Doesn’t matter how good the EV infrastructure is, imho a car needs good range otherwise you might as well use public transport or ride a bike.
