Three main reasons I do drive an EV: 1. electricity is a fifth of the cost of gasoline, 2. it charges while I sleep so I don't spend any time waiting for fueling, and 3. the range is way more than I drive in a day.
Truly, it's #2 that I love the most. Instead of spending hours of my life every year sitting at a gas pump, my car is always fully charged every morning. #1 is cool, too, of course, it costs me $200/year to fuel my EV, where I was spending almost that every month with my last ICEV. #3 is a minimum requirement, of course.

I suspect only a small fraction of people would opt for that option. It would be the people who are constantly using their phone because they do their work entirely from it for 15-20 hrs a day. That’s pretty much what the car market should be like. The only reason people throw suspicion at it is because they’ve not experienced the comfort of never having to the gas station and simply waking up to a fully charged car like they do with their phone.
