This! I've had my EV for 6 years and my battery has degraded ~8% according to diagnostics. It's still enough to get me ~275 miles at highway speeds before I need to charge, and my average charge session lasts long enough for me to use the restroom and stretch my legs a bit, about 20 minutes.

I take a couple long-distance road trips every year and have never had an issue with range, even when my 'avoid tolls' navigation route takes me on some long stretches of county roads.
