I don't think EVs can be exact replacement of traditional vehicles in all instances yet, for this very reason. But in many cases they fit a use case perfectly.

I don't think EVs can be exact replacement of traditional vehicles in all instances yet, for this very reason. But in many cases they fit a use case perfectly. In my case I have 4 kids and a wife, and we have 2 cars. One is a mini-van and fits everyone with room to spare. The other one only seats 5 (uncomfortably) but I only use it to drive myself to work. So my next car may very well be an EV of some sort, but we cannot replace the mini-van with an EV due to the range and requirement that we need to drive farther than that (which means quick fueling at gas stations).
