So you have a ICE car that can go 600 miles a fill-up? Like a 4 cylinder turbo diesel? Or do you really spend $50-70 a day just on fuel with multiple fill-ups each day?

EV is clearly not for you. Heck if I was you, I'd reconsider a lot of life choices. 600 miles a day is commercial truck driver range. I believe there are laws in place for commercial truck drivers not to exceed 8 hours of driving, and at 600 miles (average 70mph) you would exceed that. You're basically spending 1/2 of your waking hours driving (and not working). Highly inefficient and frankly, a huge waste of time.

Honestly, you should move closer to "work." But hey, if you want to drive 600 miles a day, that's up to you. Maybe you have extenuating circumstances. It's just, even if that 100 mile per trip/600 mile per day driving is for work, I would seriously reconsider the choice, unless you drive for a living.
