RE: "during the summer, the battery can cover its usual expected mileage," that doesn't answer the question. Give us a number related to the average range. My Solterra started with a 300 mile range but now struggles to stay above 200. Can only do short trips. Traveling around Michigan limits my driving to 100 miles out, and 100 miles return. Any further driving requires (multiple) charging stops. Who wants to wait a couple hours for that? Or if there's a space to charge? Or if the charger isn't broken? Range is everything.
