Read a story this week end about a NIO vehicle (sedan) completing a 1000km (625 mile) trip on a battery charge. (Of course it was likely under ideal conditions... warm weather, flat terrain, no fat passengers... maybe even "hyper-miling", who knows?... but still)
Seems to dispel concerns about "range", however it was done on a vehicle with 150kw battery pack... Tesla's are ~ 330 miles on a 100kw battery, as per Musk. (Musk says, "~ Tesla could get greater range with a much larger battery pack, but the cost would be too high.")
Personally, I think there is some notion to the worth of NIO's future.... but that is mixed with my concern that the entire move to EVs is is a BULLSHIT scam.
FWIW...
