For me, 200 miles would satisfy 95% of my auto transport needs. I could rent a car for the infrequent longer trips or use my girlfriends’ car.
But yeah, 200 miles is too short for most people, and certainly way too short when used as a primary or only vehicle.
For those that want a cheap city commute car as a 2nd/3rd vehicle, sure, an EV or hybrid might be just the thing.
Someone above mentioned they have to get the battery charging time down to 15 minutes for EVs to be practicle. That's still way too long for me, considering that I can do self-serve gas in 3 minutes.
