In North America, the point is to be your main method of transportation. Work, groceries, friends, all require cars to get there in a reasonable time frame. Yes there are longer trips, and personally I would not feel comfortable with a 200km max range, because the nearest large towns are upwards of that already. But for those that rarely leave their cities, you could make it work, especially if your spouse had a gas / longer range car. Seems fine for a city car.

The whole entire point of a car is long road trips though. Especially in Europe, you want to live as close to your job as possible.
