The important point is about capacity. You wouldn't use your smartphone for 24 hours straight without sleeping either, but it'd be nice for the battery to last as long as possible.
I agree but there's a huge problem with this and cars. A phone battery is inconsequential but having double the battery you need in a car is hundreds of kilos you didn't need and this just makes the car use the battery capacity faster. The Hummer EV for instance is nearly 200kwh of potential storage and 9,000lbs.
As charging networks improve, you ideally want just enough range to make it to chargers when you'd normally want to get out of the car anyway.
I know. You missed my point.
