Even when I live in the suburban sprawl of Ottawa the only reason any trip would be more than 30km was because I’m actually from a village outside of it/right on the edge. Here in Montréal a commute someone would consider to be far would be 11km. Hell, when I go back home that’s only 170km so on a full charge I’d be fine even for that.

The only reason a commute would be more than 30km in North America is if you lived in a place with exceptionally poor planning(common, but not the only option). Inside most any city a car with a 200km range would get you around so easily, and while some guy in Montana might potentially struggle there’d still be a massive customer base on the continent for these vehicles.
