    Yes reduced range is very important- especially when you live in a cold climate where range is already significantly reduced from that. The cold climate also speeds up the degradation of the battery.

      Do you have experience? Adoption of EV vehicles in Norway is really high without much issue, and it’s likely colder than wherever you live. Plus, 400km is a lot. The average commute in America is 66km. 400km might be used on a fairly long road trip, but if you can charge in 10m it’s not really an issue. The everyday experience is just plug it in at home and it’s done by morning. No gas station visits or anything else.

      Sure range is important, but I just think it’s misleading to consider a battery that has lost less than 10% maximum capacity as something to be replaced immediately. It’s still definitely more than usable for the majority of people
