Even without trying to tow something I doubt if you will get 400 miles in the real world. Running the air conditioner or heater will take a bite out of it.

Hard to say. Heat or air isn’t the big hit for us. Speed is. Just like a gas vehicle, epa numbers are easy to achieve if you stick around the epa speeds. Easy around here as most speed limits tend to be around 90 or 100 kmh. At freeway speeds it’s obviously less.

The old argument about how suitable EVs are for "around town" stuff needs to die. If one is spending as much or more than it costs for a luxury car or the most capable truck and still has to make excuses for why it's not ideal for "everything" then there's a problem.
