Another question to those of you owning EV, I read a soc media post and some colleagues who keeps mentioning EV is for short distance travel and as a 2nd car while you have a primary ICE for long distance etc. Is that true in current situation? I see increased DC chargers especially along highways so don't understand that concept of why EV shdnt be primary vehicle...
Very wrong. It's mainly because they have never owned an EV lmao. Never trust a person's comment on EV when that dude doesn't even own one.

I think TCY the car reviewer that owns a Tesla Model 3 long range and MG4 Extended Range would be a much balanced opinion. He only uses the EV within the city and still revert to his Mazda CX-8 for long distance drive. And he also mentioned always try to get an EV with WLTP range of more than 500 km to be able to use it without having too much of range anxiety as when you add in other factors into the equation, the range would be slightly less even in the WLTP case (let alone other standard like NEDc).

I have a Model 3 long range that's my only car and there's absolutely no reason for me to own an ICE car alongside it. However, like what TCY mentioned, the catch is that you need to choose the EV that has at least a WLTP range of 500km.

10 year + old Nissan Leaf & Renault Zoe with air cooled batteries also still running around with half battery life, they already had a short range to begin with, why even worry about this on cars with liquid cooled batteries?

Yup I also only have a Tesla Model 3 standard range as my only car. Dont have a 2nd car and its definitely doable for really urbanite fella like me.
But for pipur/frens that really like to travel around somewhere rural/offroad, I definitely dont recommend a pure EV for now. A PHEV would be a better choice.
