Doing the math, even in the worst circumstances (very cold or very hot temperatures) with a 300 mile range battery that you max out at 80% charge and avoid going below 10% charge, I can get back the majority of my commute and even have enough charge to go into the city over 50 miles away on the weekend. I would only need to stop at a level 2 charger every other week or so. 2 weeks if I don’t need to go to the city. My work is nearby a level 2 charger and places in the city even have level 3 charging. And that is worst case scenario getting only 2 miles an hour off a standard wall outlet as opposed to the optimum 4 or 5 miles.
I feel far more confident about battery range. The 3-4 trips that are more than 250 miles round trip a year are fine if you plan the route and are okay stopping for half an hour. With kids and a dog a stop in a ICE vehicle could easily take that long anyway.
