In your typical 475km EV sedan, you would only need about 20 minutes of charging to do that 700km.
This is why I am like a broken record repeating that EV misconceptions kill EVs. You are applying gas car logic to electric cars, which is what people do, and stops them from getting an EV.
But it's wrong.
Are you assuming 250kW chargers? …and cars which can charge that fast?
Renault 5 EV charges with 11kW. This is the size of car I need.

AC only EVs dont exist in the US market any more AFAIK. Looking at the Renault 5 models currently available in the UK market, they dont have any AC only models either (maybe they do in other countries though).
If you often mowed a town park, you wouldn't buy a hand-push lawnmower and then be upset about lawn mower technology.
The Renault 5 is a town car. Its specs are closer to a golf cart than a motorcar. It fills a niche, but if you are traveling often, a different EV would suite you better.
