    2x the weight, 16x the street damage. But honestly, does every BEV need to be able to go 600 miles in one go?

      The only ones that do are the attempts at extended range full sized pickups. They have an argument that it’s needed for towing and I imagine at least some actually tow.

      My EV gets over 300 mile range and is lighter than any full sized pickup. I’d argue that’s a sweet spot since I can drive five straight hours on a road trip, about the same as for a gas car.
