Not sure where they are now, but the target is a million miles which is 6 times the 300,000 km. The article doesn't say the current level, but does say that the target is more than twice the current level. Note that 500,000 miles is 900,000 km.

Targets are nice but they don't mean much until they are met. I'm not out to dis EV's, they have many attractions but also a downside. I just don't think they are quite where their cheerleaders say they are. At least, not yet.

On my bucket list is a road trip. Drive the full length of Vancouver Island then take the ferry to Prince Rupert then Haida Gwaii, back to Rupert then back home via Pemberton and Whistler with maybe side trips to Barkerville and Bella Coola . This is not a trip I would attempt in an EV at this time, even though it might be possible.
