      I’d say that just reinforces their point that even “bad” EVs don’t have significant issues with range. But yeah, a bit weird to emphasise it.

      It’s actually a great example.

      Bolt has about 250 mile range and it’s great for everything not too far, and even ok for infrequent road trips.

      And your claim about 80% reduction is false and misleading.

      Why do you hate EV’s?

        Right and for newer vehicles there is a couple of 2020 Bolts and a 2022 Bolt EUV for low $20k or under in my area. If I travel a little bit away from my area I have found 2017 Bolts for $15k.

        As mentioned they’re not great for road tripping because of their slow L3 charge speeds, but perfect for me to use for my commute or local-ish running. It or a EUV will probably be my replacement for my ‘08 Rabbit whenever it goes, but I only put on about 3k miles a year on my car soooo it might be a while. I also need to see if i can put a family of 5 in one (reverse car seat, booster, and older kiddo in the back). I think they’ll do it.
