    I love how people looking into getting a car will go crazy over range. All the while they have not driven more than 100k in a single day in the last 5 years.

      100k km is physically impossible to drive in a day, maybe you mean “in a single year”?

      If you mean 100k meters (not sure why you just wouldn’t use km as an unit then), I have a few 200 km days a week, but the actual range anxiety comes from the fact that in the winter an EV loses a ton of range and if I need to use a public charger, I might as well just drive my current car instead of paying 15x as much to get into an used EV, since public charging is almost as expensive as diesel fuel.
