      170mi of range is asinine. Considering battery losses, only charging to 80%, and needing to charge at 10%, you’re lucky to get 100 miles. No one can drive on the highway with that little range; my electric F150 Lightning loses 1/3 of its range at highway speeds.

        It will be 100 miles in cold weather

        There is a long list of EV companies that went nowhere. Canoo, Nikola, Aptera, Bollinger.

        I dunno… my sibling can make it a long way on a single charge, all the way to me and back. They haven’t had to use a fast charger yet. But if they do, my understanding is that Hyundai optimized the battery for charging speed instead of capacity.
