Dear carmakers, if you can make a battery with 500km range that is 1/4 of the price, that would be great.

Yep. Most cars are not doing much mileage between charging cycles.

Literally no details, and this gets posted to EV blogs just to stuff ads in peoples' faces. Why does anyone read this stuff??

Prius prime gets a maximum of 600 miles range with a full battery and tank, and that car gets a peak estimated 140 MPG in city driving. Even if you added 5% to that number instead of just the ICE MPG, that 630 miles. Less than HALF the range in this nonsense headline.

This is probably produced by the same content farms that generate similar news about the impending death of EVs due to miraculous advances in hydrogen powered vehicles.

Obviously there are no sources and the only images are either unrelated or AI generated.

As to you question "why does anyone read this stuff?" I believe people love stuff that confirms their hopes and are more than willing to compromise on any level of skepticism, when reading stuff that aligns with their views.

Why tough?

Why carry all that cost and weight when you can get 70% of that range with half the battery size.

It's not like it's an overland land cruiser.

1304.88 miles

Dude.

Finally, a car with the range to get Americans halfway to work!
