If you are doing a lot of long weekend roadtrips, you will likely want to own a ICE vehicle with the current state of battery tech. Not a big deal. To each their own. But for many people, especially households with two cars, one of those that fills up at home and has a range of 200mi, will be something that saves them time and money. People and society would probably be better off not attaching their identity and group affiliation to the type of car they use. Keep your identity small[1].

For a good many years when I was still commuting and otherwise driving locally more than I do now, I had a small 36mpg Honda 2-seater as well as an SUV for weekends and hauling stuff. I actually still have the Honda but it's very old and I'll probably get rid of it because I don't use it much. If a person or family has 2 cars, it makes a lot of sense for at least one of them to be something small and economical and (at least in the near future) EV--assuming home charging.
