Depends on the charging infrastructure in your region of the world. I travel a lot (for work) and my car is almost only used for long distances. The range of the i5 is plenty if you can easily find chargers on the road, which is the case in my province. Our government had a big push for chargers and it paid off. The result: 20% of cars sold here last year were EVs and it's only going up.
Range is important if you do long distances but I'd argue that once your car can do about 250 miles on a charge speed of charge and charging infrastructure becomes everything, since anyway you still have to stop once in a while for breaks.
