Cold weather performance has to improve a bit too. That 300km can easily become 200 or less in a Canadian prairie winter, which isn't enough to be competitive with ICE vehicles, and given the state of charging infrastructure.

Don't forget that this article mentions that cars with shorter range will be more useful by 2030. There are still a few years to improve charging tech and infrastructure.

Right, but having to stop to charge midway through a 2-300 km trip isn't that practical for most around here. That length of drive isn't uncommon and stopping would be a turnoff for people used to doing the whole trip with an ICE vehicle.
