No. High-mileage drivers have a reason to prefer electric vehicles, since they're cheaper to operate per-mile than gasoline vehicles.

A reason, but realistically, EV buyers are, anecdotally, buying them because they're greener and cooler than ICE vehicles. Very little people I know are doing it for the perceived cost savings and almost none of the EV owners I know are high-milage drivers.
True. Ideally high mileage drivers are electric, but that doesn't make it true.
But range is less… we need more data before making assumptions.
