You can plug in at home and use chargers very rarely. After a year or so, I’m yet to try use one.

I guess this very much depends on your driving patterns.

Anyone who has an ICE car will probably still prefer that for long trips. Most people are multiple car families and so will have that choice today.

Even if the EV was the choice, a lot of people will fly (or take a train) for longer trips and so never hit the limits.

The free standard autopilot on teslas makes highway driving much less taxing. I also have an ICE car, but will always take the Tesla on long road trips. Charging stops make the trip take maybe 10% longer, but that’s fine with me.
