That's odd. The Bolt has a range of 259 miles (real world closer to 200). DC fast charger takes a little over an hour to get a full charge (the standard charger is much slower). That said, this is why Tesla is eating all the other EV manufacturers for breakfast. 350-400+ mile range and making massive investments in their supercharger network.
Yeah, that use case doesn't really make sense. He would be better off renting a car for a trip that long. I mean, people have to really understand their use cases and see if it fits how they intend to use it. The state of charging infrastructure is really, really far behind the rate of EV adoption - unless you are in certain states.
I think 50 miles a charge is a nice round number and would certainly beat the other PHEV's out there right now. Course you have to realize that if Jeep was able to get 50 miles out of it, there would be folks that say, "If only it got 75 miles then I would buy one". so the goalposts get moved out each time. This isn't necessarily a bad thing and drives innovation.
He says he charges to 85% charge, because charging that last 15% takes much longer. He also recharges when her gets down to 1/4 battery range left. When you live in the western US and charging stations are not as common it isn't a good idea to drive until the battery is completely drained, and then try to find a charging station. So, first of all, that claimed 259 mile range is BS, and secondly, it isn't practical to expect to get what is considered the full range out of it.
Didn't read all 4 pages, but NEVER for me! I'll just go back to Toyota if I have too. I have range anxiety with my leaf blowers!! Where I live and how I drive will never fit the EV idea. I wish they would stop cramming it down our throats.

Needed a lawn mower- have home solar because PG&E can’t reliably keep the power on now, so got electric. Suffered Range Anxiety since my first mow when it barely finished the front, wait for recharge, Almost got the back done, recharge for the last little bit. Regret not being able to add a pint of gas and finish. ? ….. I have been accused of Blind Hatred of EV’s, Wrong— it’s for the way they are being ….. Shoved Up Our A$$. 
The OEM rubber on my wife's Honda were Bridgestone Ecopias. My wife is a tire connoisseur of sorts, and couldn't wait until the tread was worn down to ~3/32nds so that we could replace them. She'd have done it much sooner, but good tires are a four figure expense, and thus a household capital expenditure, meaning unanimous agreement is required before the check is written. Since such agreement wasn't forthcoming from me, because the tires weren't defective, she had to use them up first. Admittedly, they weren't the most impressive tire we've ever used, but they worked and so they stuck around.
On the issue of electric vehicle mandates, it would be neat to observe the auto manufacturers taking a page out of the Civil Disobedience rulebook, in a manner identical to what the medical/recreational marijuana industry has done:
That would imply they are actually trying to fix issues instead of just raking in more sales and kicking the can down the road.
Sorry to read about that, Mike. I'm a Michelin fan boy, and have had nothing but a good experience with the brand. Granted, none of what I've used were constructed or sold as a economy/mileage-based tire.
They were too good, lasted forever on my 210K mi 4R. It did piss me off when DT refused to repair after hitting an arbitrary date, had I got the flat a couple weeks earlier they would have honored their free repair, I had to go elsewhere and pay until new tires when given to my grandson. ?
That reminds me that I should have mentioned my use case:
