Sunday AM 55 votes tallied.
18 of the respondents (33.9% of the total) own or have owned BEV. Of them 11 (61.1%) want the 180 kWh battery.
Among the remaining 37 non owners 21 (56.7%) want the larger battery. This supports my hypothesis that those familiar with BEV operation would better appreciate the advantages of greater range but with these small number of responses the positions could easily reverse with a few more votes supporting @Babbuino 's thesis that the inexperienced would be motivated by range anxiety.
Of the 23 respondents wanting the smaller pack 7 (30.4%) were motivated by cost (note that not a single BEV owner fell into this bin) and the rest (7 owners, 9 non owners) felt that 300 miles was enough. Again this suggests that lack of understanding of BEV operation might lead to choice of the smaller pack but again the numbers are close enough that we cannot draw that conclusion with any certainty.
