eli5 Why are electric vehicles becoming standard when they have low range?

816 views

I’m asking this without bias. Just genuine curiosity. Cause I don’t understand (hence eli5 lol). Why are they being pushed right now when it’s known that almost all EVs have ranges that are quite low? Compared to the amount of miles one may get with a full tank of gas that is.

Surely they would focus more on increasing the amount of range per charge to match what you can get in terms of gas in a newer gas powered car (closer to 500). Instead of setting laws in place to phase gas out before electric is even fully developed.

Range isn’t at all a primary feature for most car owners, especially when you can fill up the car by parking either at home, work, or when you’re out and about.

If you’re going more than 200 miles between cities, you’re also just gonna find it faster to fly, for almost all trips.
