Batteries are heavy and expensive so I don’t believe you will typically see 1000 mile ranges. The average number of miles driven per day in the US is around 40. When many people can recharge over night there wouldn’t appear to be an economic reason for allocating that much costs for a battery. Typically on a rode trip, you can charge 200 miles in 20 minutes. Undoubtedly that time will continue to drop as new chargers put out more power and new batteries are able to accept higher charging rates. There is a sweet spot for the majority of customers and I doubt it is 1000 miles of range but there could be some offerings in the future at a higher cost just like there are customers for Bugattis.
