Predictions of 1,000 mile EPA range batteries are like Elon Musk's FSD predictions. "They'll be here next year." There have been many high energy density chemistries announced since Toyota's 2009 amazing new battery announcement with an estimated 2015 availability date. Yet we are still waiting for an economical, mass production battery to emerge. With the production of 2029 model year cars less than 4 years away, expecting such a battery to be generally available in by 2029 is very optimistic.
I think your advice for today's consumer is well given. We have a 2023 Genesis GV70 EV which give us about 225 miles of suburban driving range. We use it as our everyday vehicle. We've never used anything but our Level 2 home charger in the 16 months we have owned the car. Our antidote for range anxiety is our 2013 Mercedes E350 which we use for longer trips .
