• cars hold more than 1 person
• mountains mean that four hours is now three hours
• cold weather means that four hours is now two hours
• mountains plus cold weather means four hours is now one and a half hours
• much of the (us) country lacks charging stations to support that, or even the infrastructure to support the charging stations
• hybrid cars are the worst of both worlds
• 300 miles is just barely under the safe distance between most major towns \cities in parts of the us
• that means you barely or don't get to your location on one charge
• current charging infrastructure means taking a couple hours extra on many trips right now. At least some of this is improving, but very slowly.

This is a very real problem. We know, we have family with an ev who need to travel to us to visit on occasion.
