And they need to go more than 200 or 300 miles before needing a several hour recharging.
My current vehicle, a 2017 Honda Fit goes about 300 miles and then takes maybe five minutes for refueling. That makes a 700 mile road trip practical.
And do NOT tell me I should have an electric vehicle for around town, and a gas one for the long drives. NO! I am NOT going to have two cars when one is all I need, thank you very much.

OP
200 miles is not the max charge for the Lucid Air, it has up to a 520 mile range

They should make EV cars selling for under $15k that meet all safety standards with union labor

You could take the batteries from one all-electric car and make 10 plug-in hybrids.
