"Part of the reason that range anxiety exists comes from our unfamiliarity with using overall range as a comparative metric...most people don't need all of the extra range or horsepower brought on by the more expensive powertrains.

"...Edmunds tells buyers that they should purchase a car that can do three times their daily commute on a charge, which would be an average of just over 110 miles.

Is spending big bucks for 300 miles of range really necessary if you only drive 180 miles a week?
