ID. Buzz range
Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure or the WLTP = 263 miles
Real world test at 56mph =225 miles, at 75mph =154 miles
It hasn't gone through epa testing for range but will be lower than the WLTP

I could get by with 250miles at 65mph by taking The Long Way if the charge stations were in the small towns. Even though you are driving at 65 it breaks down to less than 50mph, at 50 for two hours is 100 miles, 15-20 minuets on a fast charger will get you close to that in range.
 
Not all 50a 240v outlets are compatible with EV charging EV's are a constant amp draw, other electrical appliances are intermittent. EV outlets need larger gauge wire for heat. If their is a next round of funding it should hit rural America, fast level 3 dc charger's cost $50,000 without support a small town can't afford the cost.
