Tell me you live in a city without telling me you live in a city...?
The nearest city is a 25-mile drive for me (one way). I have to drive that at least once a month, sometimes several times a week.
I have to fairly regularly take 100-mile drives (again, one way) to see a veterinary specialist for some of my pets' health problems.
Most years, I take a 67-mile (one way) trip to the local Renaissance Festival—sometimes I go 2-3 times in a year.
Even if I wanted to rent, the nearest rental place (that's not just U-Haul or similar) is....in the city! And for a long drive, it's even more important to know the ins and outs of the car, know that you'll have enough space, be comfortable, etc.
If I lived in a city, and only had to drive a maximum of 25 miles to get to 99% of what I wanted all the time, I would seriously consider something much smaller with less range. As it stands...well, actually, I drive a Subaru Outback, but that's mainly because the comfort and space of the available (non-luxury-priced) electric cars couldn't match it, but I 100% support and understand people buying EVs with as much range as they can find.
