If the only thing important to a driver is driving 900 miles non stop I see nothing wrong with staying with diesel. I don’t know anybody who does that other than commercial reasons but hey. To each his own. A long travel day for us is about 600 kilometers (400 miles). A 900 miles range of a vehicle would not be an asset for me. To each his own though.

Yes, if I want to go to Kansas to see my daughter, it is nice to get up in the morning and be there for evening!

Would rather have more time with her!

???????????????????? 900 miles that's a min of 13 to 15 hours I am sure you would be up for a visit after that and the next day you won't be worth much either.

I can see the odd person doing 1300 kilometers (900 miles) per day for reasons described or other pressing reasons. With the Security weights in airports nowadays it might make sense for some. But I would think a very small part of the population would actually drive more than 800 kilometers (500 miles) per day. So that single range advantage of a liquid fueled car will not keep most people hooked on liquid fuel. The significant advantages of EV’s far outweighs those of liquid fueled vehicles. And presently an 800 kilometer road trip in the most commonly sold EV’s is no longer or shorter than the same trip in a liquid fuel vehicle.

Jmho.
