minus-squarekunaltyagi@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoUsually 200-300km is good enough range for most ppl on US. For other countries, I’ve found 150km to be more than sufficient. Overnight charging from a heater outlet is usually sufficient for normal daily use. Weekends usually add 100-200 km range easily in case the daily usage is slightly higher than daily overnight charge. Charging at office is also an increasingly possible option.
