Mercedes EQC; Durability Over Range?

Mercedes has announced that they are going to have 10 electric cars in their range by 2022, with the first being the EQC. Mercedes has stated that they won't have the same astonishing range of the Tesla's but instead go down the same route as Audi and strive for durability. For Tesla to reach the range that they have they have to drain the battery to a point where it reduces the life of the battery.

The EQC is estimated to have a range of 400km which is a 120km less than the top Tesla model X but 70km more than the Audi E-Tron. Audi has stated that their range is more than sufficient as a consumer study showed that most of their audience were able to charge their car up nightly and rarely drove over more than 320km everyday.

With keeping this in mind it would make more sense to go for a more durable electric vehicle rather than one that can provide more range however we will have to see what the consumer consensus will be.
