Original: Most Americans Want 300+ Miles of EV Range, Even Though They Drive Much Less

The gap highlights how consumer expectations around range anxiety shape buying decisions more than actual driving needs, posing a challenge for automakers deciding how much battery capacity to build into affordable models.
Why now: Range expectations versus real driving habits is a live debate as EV adoption grows.
