150 miles on battery only seems like sweet spot for daily driving for most people, though thats impacted by the battery chemistry. if its LFP then you'll be able to charge it fully to 100% daily without much worry about battery degradation. if its NMC, then ideally you want to keep the state of charge between 20-80%, which means real world you'll get ~110 miles of range before needing a charge. for cold weather folks, this may not be a sweet spot though as we know the battery range is going to reduce range quite a bit. for those who want to run battery only daily this is going to matter, for those who dont care, it wont.
i suspect the size/range of the battery is going to be dependent on how the EREV works. lets say youre road tripping. what we know is the EREV model will get 500 miles of range but does that mean you can get that continuously? can i drive 500 miles in one shot without refueling or charging? if the answer is yes, then it might be fine as is. if the answer is no, then either they need to increase the battery or increase the speed at which the engine charges the battery.
many unanswered questions.
