> battery startups expect range will matter less as public electric vehicle (EV) chargers become ubiquitous

No, give me range so I don't have to charge all the time. 400 miles is what I want. There are BEVs that achieve it (or near enough) in highway driving, though they are expensive:

Better cheaper batteries, please.


I have very little time now but was about to start the abridgement, when I saw in the second paragraph the sentence

> seeking to build cars that can travel 300 miles (482 km)

It seems that the aim would be "to pass the sought "480" mark, though in full conscience that to ask for 500 would be overdaring". No, really. I mentioned the crisis of journalism only a handful of posts ago, and that of general culture soon after that, and that of reasoning latest. Time for a break.
