I used to have a '16 Ford Focus EV and it could only go about 80 km on a charge. This turns out to be plenty enough to drive kids to school, drive downtown from the burbs, work a day, drive home, and have maybe 15-20km left on the thing for an emergency. As a second car alongside a gas SUV that got used maybe once a fortnight, it was fantastic; I honestly believe that there's a huge potential for smaller, lighter, simpler EVs that don't need the 3500 pound battery my new EV rides on top of.

100 miles on a single charge is phenomenal by early 2000's standards.
