1100 miles. Enough for me to
1100 miles. Enough for me to go round trip to Toronto and back without needing any charge.
Of course this is an unrealistic answer. That’s because the question is difficult. Answer depends on driving style and environment.
In an urban setting with 50 miles driven per week, the 146 mile range is overkill. But in a suburban environment with 250 miles driven each week, the 146 mile spec isn’t adequate.
I think it is not an accident that most long range EV specs are grouping around 200 - 250 mile range. Good enough for urban and suburban use. For long distance trips, you need to charge every 200 miles (summer) or 100 miles (winter). And that means using public charging network.
I just did that 1000 mile RT drive back and forth to Toronto. I was getting 220 mile range based on 70 mph average speed with AC on. Had to stop three times for charging on both legs of trip (6 stops total).
Based on my real world experience, I would have loved to have 300 mile range. This would have cut charging stops along the way from three to two. Would have simplified trip considerably.
So bottom line answer. Give me 300 miles on my next EV.
