@Suiseiseki also, people want at least 400km range out of electric cars for some reason, don't think most gas cars do that on a tank

@snacks Most subcompact petrol cars made after 2000 will do 400+km on a tank while highway driving, which is convenient, as you don't need to fill up very often.

Expensive petrol cars can do 1000+km on a tank; https://anonymousoverflow.privacyredirect.com/exchange/movies/questions/88162/did-jeremy-clarkson-really-make-it-to-blackpool-in-the-jaguar-on-one-tank-of-gas

People wanted expensive electric cars to at least match the range of cheap subcompacts.

@snacks Yes, big heavy mini trucks have poor range, especially when hauling 500kg of dead weight.

The range indicator may list 700km, but you don't even get half that.
