range is the reason why i think battery improvements will see the standard range go from 100 to 150 miles because that will cover more than 2/3rds of the people not covered by the 100 mile range (if the 100 mile range was a real 100 miles we would not have the issue)
i have lived in places where it was common to need 100 miles most days (Seattle being 60 miles away means i am potentially in that situation now)
now, there will always be a luxury option, be it Tesla or Nissan's 300 mile pack upgrade but then we get to how to replenish the pack.
QC is not applicable to a pack that large. it would take 2+ hours to recharge. not viable in most circumstances. sure it will fit some of the time, but someone paying that much money might not go for that so quicker methods will be employed which means battery swapping (Checked Zenn and eestor this morning...still waiting)
