What would you consider acceptable range?

What would be acceptable range for
a) Urban commuter (may be second car) charged overnight / at work.
b) Replacement for your daily driver
c) Weekend fun car - again assuming overnight charge
For me :
a) 150 km without work charging, 100 km with would do. I have built in a margin for side trips / errands.
b) 250
c) My fun car is my DD, but for weekends away, 350 would do the trip to my mother's with about 1/2 "tank" in reserve.
Assuming a 1 hour fast charging station, 350 means 700 km with a leasurely lunch break, over 1000 if you press on after dinner.
It would mean Melbourne to Sydney / Adelaide in a day, which is about as far as I feel like driving in a day these days.
Note that I have parking at home, and 240V 15A power.

Sorry I was a bit vague.
I suupose the urban commuter thing would be purely a "get to work" vehicle, with the assumption that there is a second car / van / wagon about for anything other than shortish trips.
eg my father had a 3 cyl charade years ago just for his 10 km commute to work, and a semi-luxo barge for other duties.
