It’s really the only reason I haven’t bought one, as I regularly travel across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and especially in the wintertime I understand the range is even less because of the cold.

From what I understand, it’s easy to make a battery that has this power–at first. So brand new you’ll be able to go that far. Looking at most EVs they say they have a 250-300 mile range.
The issue is that batteries degrade over time and so that range doesn’t last. In the same way that a phone might last a full day but doesn’t after a couple years. Considering cars are expected to last for a decade or more to be a decent investment, this presents an issue because over that amount of time 300 mile ranges can easily turn into 60 mile ranges, and make them not feasible for a car based country like the US
