Lots of Tesla owners have it as their only car. (Or they own multiple cars, but all EVs.) I'm one of them. Of course, Tesla is the only one out there that can really handle those long trips. The Bolt can't unless all the stars line up.

I really don't understand why other manufacturers aren't pushing hard on fast charging networks. As you say, those long trips may not be common, but people won't buy the car if it can't make them.
