No one wants EVs with a range under 200 miles. Plug in Hybrids aren't much much better. In 2025 California sold 350K EVs with a range of +200 miles. They only sold 2.4K EV's with a range of less than 200 miles. Plug in Hybrid sales sales came in a 57K.
Right away you are wrong. I want one with much less than 200 miles. I’ll use one of my gas cars for that. I have talked to many people that agree with me. So “no one” is wrong.
The only reason people want all that range is that people are being sold on the idea of an EV as a replacement for a gas car, which it shouldn’t be. EV’s are ideal for daily commutes for the majority of people. For anything longer, I always use one of my gas cars.
If they did this right, there could be EV’s for less than $15,000, that would be perfect for the daily commute. Instead they try to fill them with premium bells and whistles with more and more range, making them very expensive, like luxury cars, and too heavy for the roads.
