Until charging gets way better there is. Part of the issue is so much is linked to pack size. How much power you can pull out. A powerful car needs a big pack. Charge rate too. You can charge more miles a minute on a bigger pack. Long term battery health too as a smaller pack has to be driven harder and taken to there extremes of capacity more often. Plus things that impact range like driving on a cold day in snow,or towing something. It's easier to drop below critical range.
