The this thread started regarding GM going all electric. Rather than test drive a Tesla go test drive a Bolt. My range for my 2018 Bolt is 238 miles. It's actual mileage is less in the winter bet more in the summer. The newer models have slightly higher range.
I agree it might be a while before long distance HD applications are practical, but commuter applications are ideal for an EV. I charge once a week. For long distance travel they are not ideal right now, because of charging time but it is doable. All the people making claims regarding the lack of charging location would probably be surprised at how many are out there. The longest trip we have taken was about 250 miles one way and was in the fall. Had to charge once each direction. While charging we went and got a meal, so it wasn't that inconvenient
