> 100km range fits the commuting needs of 95% of the people in western Europe.
There's a bunch of problems with this though:
* Finding charging spots can be difficult, most workplaces don't provide them, many residential buildings don't either, if you live in the city and park outside just forget about it entirely, finding a spot is already hell; having to waste an hour charging every two days makes the "fit" way worse, even more so when the few charging spots are completely out of your way.
* The range figures are usually without A/C or heating, both of which eat significantly into EV range.
* It's nice that 100km range fits into people's commuting needs, but there's no provision for non-commuting, how do you go see your parents, or on holidays, or drop by friends a few cities over, or go to your cousin's wedding?
My own commute is like 15km, but if I were to get a car (rather than use public transport) I'd get a plug-in hybrid: sure a 100km EV is more than enough for my commute (I even have an electrified parking spot), but a trip to go back to the family is 600km, and that's if I don't go and see cousins or whatever.
Even if there were enough charging stations on the way (there aren't) transforming a ~6h trip into 8~10 would not be fine.
Hell, with a 100km range I couldn't even round-trip to the nearest ikea on a full charge.
So sure, if you've got the money and room (aka a house at least) to own two cars and keep one charging overnight you can get a short-range EV for your commuting.
Not sure that's the majority though…
