I live in Colorado, but your point is mostly valid. If you don’t have a home charging solution then an EV starts looking a lot more questionable.
My commute is about 60 miles. The car reports I will burn a bit over 50% battery going there and back again when at full charge, and after the full round trip it’s generally only off by about 1-2% from its topped off estimate. So for my own real world experience? It’s generally accurate for it’s range estimation and when it’s off I generally know why (Driving 85 mph on low traffic days does not help me at ALL).
But still, if your business has you traveling that much then yeah, an EV doesn’t make much sense.
