This argument again...

The average commute time in 2011 was 25.5 minutes in USA and 24.5 in Canada. In Canada 17.2% of commuters drove more than 45 minutes to get to work. Source: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/as-sa/99-012-x/99-0...

At least for 82.8% of people the commute as well as grocery stop can be handled with a single charge. For many their whole day of driving can be done with a single charge!

Now consider that for the people for who the daily errands are within the sweet spot they never have to waste time to stop anywhere to charge! Their charging station is at home.

Even if a short-range car would be fine for your daily commute (and you have a second car or some other method for making longer trips), there's another issue to consider: If you have to charge your car every night in order to get to the work in the morning, then you need to be guaranteed a parking spot with a charger, but in densely packed areas where short commutes are common, shitting parking is common as well. That means a lot of places would need to improve their parking situation in addition to providing reliable charging infrastructure, and that's going to take a lot of money and effort.

Nothing you said contradicts what he said. Yes, commuting can be handled by an EV, but the three holidays a year when you drive 300 miles to your inlaws means you need a second car, a rental or some other way of handling that.
