As for range it totally depends on where you live and where you travel. In my province the charging infrastructure is on point (cheap, numerous fast chargers in convenient places) but I know that in a lot of the US and in other regions the infrastructure is severely lacking. The range of the i5 isn't "catastrophic" at all when you get easy access to fast chargers on your way.

It’s helpful to add that all EVs with the current generation batteries are interim designs and have a short life. The solid state batteries are on the horizon. Leasing an EV makes the only sense.
