300 miles is just barely under the safe distance between most major towns \cities in parts of the us that means you barely or don’t get to your location on one charge

I've never owned a car in my life that gets more than 300 miles on a single tank of gas.

And there's plenty of gas stations you can stop at to fill up in a few minutes.

What do you drive? A 2005 Honda civic gets 330+ miles on a full tank. Even a modern 4WD truck can hit 400+ miles total range.
