170mi of range is asinine. Considering battery losses, only charging to 80%, and needing to charge at 10%, you’re lucky to get 100 miles. No one can drive on the highway with that little range; my electric F150 Lightning loses 1/3 of its range at highway speeds.
It will be 100 miles in cold weather
There is a long list of EV companies that went nowhere. Canoo, Nikola, Aptera, Bollinger.
I dunno... my sibling can make it a long way on a single charge, all the way to me and back. They haven't had to use a fast charger yet. But if they do, my understanding is that Hyundai optimized the battery for charging speed instead of capacity.
How many miles do you consider a long way?
~70 miles. That's how far they are from me.
And their daily commute is 25 miles in heavy traffic.
That's not much really.
