I don’t think I could ever go back to a gas-powered vehicle now, simply because it’s too convenient to just plug my car in at home. For trips, yes, it’s slightly less convenient to charge it than it is to fill up a gas vehicle, but it’s not like it can’t make the trips in a similar amount of time, regardless.
It’s towing that is the achilles heel of electric vehicles, you can cut your range to less than half with a combination of a trailer and stuff on the roof.
Very few people actually ever tow anything (and I say that as someone who regularly does tow things). But even then, I can keep our ice pickup and replace our car that we drive every day with an ev.
We won’t, though, because the current situation in the US means us taking on new debt would be dumb.
I take transit wherever possible, and we’re down to being a one car house, but that car will always be an ev now. It’s so much more convenient, and no gas stations ever. I don’t know why people are so loyal to a fuel
My favorite places that I’ve lived all had transit that was so convenient that I didn’t even own a car. Unfortunately, today I live in a place where there is zero mass transit near my house.

Well, statistically, you don’t actually…
I’m not owning two vehicles just so I can have an EV.
