How many vehicles have a 650 mile range? Almost none. Plus you can't fill up at home with gasoline, like you can with an EV.

'22 Ford Escape hybrid

The remaining miles thing shows less than that on a full tank, but I've been pretty consistently getting upper-600s between fill-ups.

I suppose it would probably be less if I went on the interstate more.

Every modern passenger car will show you 650 miles when driving at ~60mph. In the EU, anyway, and with a diesel engine.

You mean EVs? Yeah, none that I'm aware of. But petrol/diesel cars? Loads of them. Even my 400bhp Volvo XC60 will easily do 650 miles on one tank of fuel. A diesel one will do 700-800. And a diesel Passat will go over 1000 miles on a tank without trying. Hell, even my basic 1.6dCI Qashqai could do 700 miles on its 55 litre tank
