Are people really bragging about getting 300 miles before needing to recharge?
I hope that's not a direct comparison to ICE BMWs?
If so, I get just over 600 miles (at over 70mph) in my X5 before I need to refill.
I fill my tank in shorter amount of time than it takes to charge an EV battery.
And before you say I'm an EV hater. I'm not hating on EVs, I legitimately plan to buy first gen Neue Klasse i3 or iX3 sav. As soon as my dealership will take my money, in the next 12-18 months or so. Hurry up already!!
In my test drives of the iX and i4 it was the quietness, solidity, instant torque and build quality that really piqued my interest in an EV. Really loved how the iX felt and handled.
Oh BTW, the iX digital panoramic roof shader is awesome!
My daughter laughed at me and walked away to sit in an XM, when I was playing with the pano dim button for 5 minutes straight at the dealership. The engaging sound on/off and watching the shade dim was great fun!
On topic: Good news they're adding 30k chargers. Sure we'll eventually need more, but this is a great start in the right direction! As everyone else has said, unless you're roadtripping across the country, most people (Over 90%) will mainly charge at home and/or work.
