"Optimal" in what way? On an average day, I use ~10-15% of my max charge, with a max range of ~200 miles, +/- a bit depending on outside temperatures. I actually have the "hilltop reserve" feature turned on so I have regen brakes available always, which stops charging at 87%.
Most people do not need their full charge capacity, it's just nice to have for the occasional road trip. With improved charging networks, ~100 mile range would he plenty for the vast majority of people for the vast majority of days.

Depends on where you live, what you do... while it's true that a back and forth to work and the market car is fine with 100 miles of range, that's a lot of garage space to take up for a car that can't get you to the next town and back on a weekend.
