Also range, especially in winter. I have to drive about 180 miles every couple of weeks, and have another trip for a vacation that is about 580 miles (and no, flying would be impractical), which I usually do in one shot or with a single overnight.
There are very few electric cars on the market that make the 180 mile trip without a long charging stop on the way in good weather, the Tesla and the Bolt are the only that I know of (though it has been a while since I've checked), and I'm not sure how I'd trust them for that rage in sub-zero temperatures.
And the longer trip would probably require at least two or three charges. While it requires stopping for gas in a gasoline car, that's a 5 minute stop, not the 30 minutes to an hour for even a fast-charge to 80% you get on an EV.
