Some people just have irrational and totally un-meetable demands of range. And I tend to think it's just a method of moving the goalposts to always have an excuse of electric cars being insufficient.
My example from this week. A friend of ours from college is ready for a new(er) car. Her car now is a 2003 Prius. It replaced...another 2003 Prius. She is insanely beyond dedicated to that exact kind of car and hates everything else. She doesn't want anything other than a 2002-2003 Prius. She has test driven many other kinds of cars and doesn't like them. She kind of likes the idea of Teslas, and her husband is encouraging her to get one, and she test drove a Model 3, and liked that, but she has The Fears (TM). It won't do well in the winter and doesn't have enough range. We talked about this a year ago, and I thought addressed it, but she brought it up again last week, because the hybrid battery on her Prius is going out.
She said the range she needs is to be able to make her drive from Columbus, OH to Ann Arbor, MI AND BACK on one single charge! Non-negotiable. That's about 200 miles each way--a 400 mile round trip.
I asked her WHY? What is so intolerable about having just one stop for charging, either on the way there, or the way back? Ann Arbor has a Supercharger. And she would drive through Toledo, which has two. You would have to be doing things in Ann Arbor anyway, so what is wrong with a charging stop somewhere in that round trip?
And she just responded that her husband can't understand why she needs that either.
Done. WTF?! When someone has easy access to the easiest and fastest charging network in the world, but is just completely unwilling to use it, and considers that a deficiency of the car, I don't know how there can ever be any answer to that.
In her case, I don't think it's dislike. It's just severe attachment to what she has and fear of change. So she has to scrounge for any kind of explanation to justify avoiding change.
