The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

You didn’t read the article or even the sub title. 300 miles is the minimum thresold in terms of specification of cars that they are using for comparison in terms of economics. Almost all of the compared vehicles are in the mid 300 mile range. Average ICE is about 400 mile range.
There are also more expensive consumer EVs that are in the high 400/500 mile range but that’s not the focus of the article.
ICE vehicles do not have a hard limit on their range. They can refuel in a few minutes. Even with supercharger stations available your not getting that range. Companies also advertise mileage per charge in the best conditions and driving style. Most EVs do not make the ranges claimed.
And yes I did read it, 350 miles was the average range, this still is nothing if it cannot be recharged in a few minutes.
EVs have their place, but they’re still a ways off from replacing ICE vehicles.
Takes 10-20m to charge to 80% on most EVs today at a L3 station. Just trying to make sure you’re informed.
Do you think advertising standards are different for EVs compared to ICE vehicles?
