And not everybody has a house with a garage where they can charge overnight. I don't want to have to look for a free charging point and wait around 30 minutes every few days. Also sometimes you actually need to drive far and a short range would be inconvenient or straight up impossible to manage if the charging infrastructure is not good. For example, I live in Bulgaria, in an apartment building without a garage. Even tho it is a small country, it's quite easy to be very far away from a charging point because the infrastructure is poor. If I want to go visit my grandma, that's a 300 mile drive, most of it through underdeveloped rural areas, which obviously won't have a charger available. Until EVs match ICE cars in terms of range they are just not a viable option for me and quite a lot of other people.
Edit: just noticed this post is a month old. I have no idea why lemmy decided to show it in my hot feed.
