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.

It takes energy to move a big, heavy car.
Gasoline packs a lot of energy in a small size and weight. That should make sense, because it’s basically explosive. It does not take much gasoline to push a car a long distance because of how much energy it has.
Batteries do not carry as much energy for their size and weight. You need more batteries to push a car the same distance.
If you want the electric car to go the same distance as a gasoline car, you need a lot more batteries, which is heavier, so you need more batteries to push the extra batteries you’re carrying.
