That is my usage pattern yes but then I’m used to having one car satisfy both the use cases. In many developed countries one could rent a car for road trips, but not in India unfortunately. There are some rental companies but it’s mostly a hit and miss and when it misses the experience is a shitshow.

While I can afford to buy two cars it’s a big capital expenditure that’s extremely under utilized.

And so my wait continues, looks like I’ll be stuck with ICEs for at least a half a decade.

Agreed.

Half a decade seems too optimistic to me though - lack of charging facilities at residences, current power grid cannot support any significant usage of electric cars, little space for charging stations in cities etc.

Though if fuel taxes & prices continue to rise in current fashion, ICE might become too costly to use.
