At first, range seems to be king. Once a few trips are under your belt, you realize that charging speed is where it's at. Thought experiment: if you can charge 20 to 80% in 20 minutes, but the range is 400km, would that outweigh a 45 minute 20 to 80% with a 650km range and an extra 25k on the purchase price?
Well we're already at 500km. And it's not all that pricey. Also cold weather driving really reduces range.
