I just wish we could get over the need-more-mileage mindset. Most of us, for most of our use, don't need even 100 miles per charge. But no, we need all the miles! Just like why so many people buy huge pickups but rarely use them to haul or tow.

I'd love to see more energy-dense batteries - mostly so it will get EVs lighter and help steal back some of the storage space that batteries take up.

But what we need even more is a better network of chargers. They should be EVERYWHERE. That's the best way to get rid of range anxiety.

With solid-state batteries I believe we'll see 100 miles per charge on even plug-in hybrids...that's what I plan to buy next.
