Here's a pretty good exploration of the effects of drag and temperature on EV range. https://www.geotab.com/blog/ev-range-impact-of-speed-and-temperature/
As I've noted previously, we travel often (three seasons) to our cabin in NW Colorado. The cabin is off-grid. It has a 25 year old 12 volt...
AFAIK, there are no "put it on a window sticker" battery range specs yet. Current (no pun intended) range specs for available EVs are a bit optimistic and vary widely with load and temperature. I hope your crystal ball is correct. I like the idea of a "pure" EV but it simply does not work for me...
As others have noted in this thread, it's all about your use case.
My current vehicle is a 2015 Ram with the 3.0L ecodiesel. We travel to our remote cabin (NW Colorado) a dozen times or so from spring to fall (and once or twice during hunting season). It is 310 miles one-way from Colorado...
This version of the new Scout (and the analogous Ram) are of the most interest to me. I have always wondered why no vehicle manufacturers had built hybrid EV's on the diesel-electric model.
Seems a no brainer. The battery can be smaller and lighter (you have a battery charger "on board"). There...
