I had an interesting conversation a family friend. The point he made was he thinks an BEV needs to have about a 300 mile range so he only has to fill it about as often as his current vehicle. I said as long as you can drive the distance you need to in a day you just plug it in at night and it's full again for another day of driving. He had a hard time understanding that fact, that the vehicle is "full" every morning, he still talked about finding a charging location and sitting at that location for 60 minutes or longer and waiting while his car charged, he kept pointing out that if he had to stop and charge even twice a week that is 2 hours of his time lost.
I don't think people can grasp the idea of home charging or "filling up at home". When he finally sort of got that part then it turned in to "so I would have to plug it in EVERY night when I got home and then unplug it EVERY morning when I leave?", like it is so inconvenient. Honestly until we had our Leaf I didn't realize how much time I wasted driving, even a tiny bit, out of the way to fill up with gas, or having the family sitting in the van and "waiting" while I filled up the van. Talk about wasting time and going out of your way to fill with gas is just another waste of time and energy, just to get more energy.
I have said it before but I think the 200 mile range for us would cover 95% or what we need. Our big problem up here is heat in winter and 24kw just doesn't cut it, so it's not really the 200 "miles", maybe a better way to state it would be 100 miles with heat, right now we are lucky to get 45 miles with heat in winter with the snow
