I can live with that, 100miles of range is more than I use day to day, so is 60miles. Winter road trips could be a pain, but that’s maybe once a year

The article says 2.5b people is the max for everyone to have a high standard of living. Lower standards of living could be supported for a larger population. At least that’s the claim.

Idk if that’s necessarily true, though I suppose it depends on what you define as the high standard of living. That isn’t well spelled out. It also assumes there isn’t significant change in energy input required for the high standard output.
