200 km range in the summer means 100 km in the winter. i live in finland and i frequently need to drive 100+km away from home. nearest ikea is 130 km away, relatives living in other cities, etc. i imagine it’s the same for a lot of people, not just in the US.

Don’t assume everyone replying in a way you don’t agree with lives in the US. I am speaking from experience living in the Luxembourg/Germany area…
Even Germans take vacation to visit relatives and vacation homes. A range like that easily doubles a 200Km drive’s travel time.
It’s good if you don’t long-distance travel by car, or if you use it as a secondary car for work commutes. Then it’s perfect.

Hilarious.If there was any European who is closest to the American car ethos, it’s got to be the Germans. Those autobahns, man. :)

Trust me, Luxembourgers are worse. Germans have decent public transport in their metropolitan areas. Luxembourg otoh is more like US suburbia.

I knew that this argument would be the second possibility. German Reichweitenangst is strong with you, too it seems.
