I think you cover it, but from elapsed time, the average consumer use is mostly commute or errand based with the occasional (or weekend trip).
What this means is that if you fill gas 1-2x a week to handle the average 20 mile commute, you've saved 10 minutes because the refill of the electric is at home, with little effort.
Now you bank that 10 minutes every time you take any one way <~200 mile trip with electricity at the ends.
If you're doing regular multi region drives you are not average, you're likely in the top 1% of consumer long range trips.
To add, the longer and "more often" stops are healthier for you and your passengers; very few cars have a less than 200 mile range now, and if you're sitting for that period of time, moving (or at least not sitting) is a good idea to prevent deep vein thrombosis, the longer the better.
