The number of EVs with 300+ miles of range tripled in the US in 2022 – but do we even need it?

According to the “fact of the week” from the United States Department of Energy, the number of EVs offering at least 300 miles of range has grown tremendously since 2016 and has tripled in 2022 compared to a year prior. Higher range remains a huge selling point for US consumers, but still begs the question – is it really necessary for the average driver?

In the past, we at Electrek have done our best to disperse the fog of many myths and assumptions that often surround EVs and stifle their adoption. One of the biggest hurdles that still intimidatingly sits as a roadblock to many consumers is range anxiety.
