MB recently tested an EQS with a mostly solid state battery. They drove it from Stuttgart to Sweden, a 749 mile trip and had more than 80 miles of range remaining. When this test battery technology or a full solid state version is ready for the public, EV range will be outstanding. Since it’s a pilot program, there’s no estimated cost increase for the battery. Half of this test battery would be a if improvement too. They guess that it will be available in the next five years.

My money is on china building it cheaper and causing more environmental pollution and filling storage yard with 1100 unused cars.
Owning an electric car without a 220 volt home charger would be stupid and I, like most apartment dwellers cannot have a home charger.
