My EV has 280km range and it's a bit short. I would prefer to have 450km.

Reasons:

  • charging above 80% is slow and bad for the baterry, you also don't go to 0% before charging. so on most days I don't actually have 280km range, more like 200km

  • I drive more during the weekend, usually just around 200-300km. I can charge for free at work but with 280 range I can't charge for the whole weekend which would be nice and would reduce my costs to nearly 0

  • on longer trips 280km means a stop for charging about every 2h. Make it 3h and it would be perfect

280km is enough for daily driving but in my case, 50% bigger battery would a big improvement overall.
