All idiotic statements

“EVs don't have as much range as conventional cars”

Verdict: True

On paper, most gas cars can go further on a full tank than most EVs can on a full charge -- but that stat misses the point entirely.

The sourced answer

On paper, most gas cars can go further on a full tank than most EVs can on a full charge -- but that stat misses the point entirely. The average American drives about 37 miles per day. Even the most affordable EVs on the market offer 200+ miles of range, covering nearly a week of typical driving on a single charge. For the 95%+ of driving that's daily commuting and errands, range is a non-issue. And EV ranges keep climbing. Here are the top five highest all-electric ranges on the market in 2025: Lucid Air at 512 miles, Cadillac Escalade IQ at 460 miles, Rivian R1T at 420 miles, Tesla Model S at 402 miles, and Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ at 390 miles. For road trips, fast chargers can add 200+ miles in 20-30 minutes. Range anxiety is becoming range irrelevance.
