A 245 mile range is pathetic. My old Volvo sedan goes more than 500 miles on a tank of gas.

My 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Supercharged HEMI V8 gets far better mileage than that. Heh.

I have a 2007 Hyundai sonata with the big four. A few years ago I took it across the country on a 5,000 mile round trip. Between 460 and 480 miles on a tank. 70 mph air conditioning the whole nine yards.

“A 245 mile range is pathetic. My old Volvo sedan goes more than 500 miles on a tank of gas.”

I’ve always been impressed by the power companies in Florida but even so, in the last thirty years, I’ve had to go probably a total of four weeks without power, meaning no gas either. The gas in the tank was just fine because the range on the car is so great compared with electric batteries. Also, I keep a minimum of 20 gallons of gas for the generator, which I have never needed to power the car. Gas is the way to go. Don’t even get me started on the cost to the environment of battery powered cars because the mining, refining, manufacturing energy cost, plus the disposal costs FAR exceed any environmental gains you get while driving the car. But, hey, you get to look down on all those drivers of gas powered cars, so it’s worth it.
