I've had the opposite problem. I just bought another car, and I saw some great ICE options that seemed really appealing. Very long range, great utility, etc.
But when I priced in the cost of gas (currently $3.5 here but it's been much higher as recently as a year ago) versus the cost of the electricity (4.2 cents/kWh in the middle of the night), I couldn't make the numbers work. Given that it's an appliance for the family and not my personal hot rod, I couldn't justify spending extra for ICE. We'll suck it up and deal with DC fast charging on road trips.
