"transform into each other" would be more appropriate. The gauge choice you mentioned is not totally wrong. The gauge freedom can be used to set the electric field to zero, but only once at a single point.

Sorry, but gauge transformations do not (by construction) affect the physical fields at all. You cannot set E to 0, even at a point, with a gauge transformation.
