I think the idea is if you plug it in every night you will never have to stop to refuel for every driving scenario except long roadtrips.

EV > ICE for commuters and local driving.

ICE >>> EV for long distances the commonality of which seems to be grossly downplayed for most of the US.

The estimated range for a 2023 Chevy Bolt is 259 miles where hitting 250 miles is a short drive for a weekend trip in the midwest. For a friend's bachelorette party which was a 4 day weekend we drove 600 miles one way nonstop. If you're a 2+ car family an EV is a no brainer for the second car.
