Why is it so difficult to design electric car/truck batteries that have the same range (about 300 miles) as gas powered vehicles?

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.

300? I think 400-450 is more accurate, at least highway miles.

It’s also the same reason I won’t buy an electric car.

Wake me up when I can charge from nearly empty to full in under 5 minutes and the batteries don’t degrade to the point 100% charged is really only 80% charged.

I love the instant torque but the range & battery degradation are deal breakers for me.

That and almost all electric cars are fuckin ugly.
