75mi x2 ways, is 150mi.
150mi x1.15 (15%), is 172.5mi.

This also isn't daily driving. It's a few times a year at most. So the 150mi trips would pre-aranged 100% charge days.
Daily driving is less than 50mi. Closer to 30 really. So yah, I really only need the 175 miles of range.
The rare road trip that's longer, would be once every 2-3 years at most. I'd just rent something for those trips.

And when I say less than $30K I mean less. Not the in $30K price bracket. The $20K+ bracket. Maybe $28 or 29K tops, if it had some killer feature I really liked.
