I hear you. This is a choice everyone has to make for themselves. Not everyone will have the same priorities or circumstances. My longest yearly trip is ~120

I hear you. This is a choice everyone has to make for themselves. Not everyone will have the same priorities or circumstances.
My longest yearly trip is ~1200km, but that's like once a year. Several times a year I do a 500km trip. On the long haul the additional refueling stops make the trip about 10% longer, on the shorter trip it has more impact, about 15%. Caveat: this is in the western US and superchargers are invariably right next to the freeway, so they don't add much time to the trip.
What really sold it for me was eliminating the trips to the gas station. That is a level of convenience it will be hard to give up.
I'm in the market right now for a new second vehicle, since I'm eliminating the need for a thirsty HD pickup capable of towing our trailer, and what I'm finding is that the market for EVs is not great in the truck space. Couple choices, both with ups and downs, and a little bigger than what I'd prefer (C'mon, Toyota, make us an electric Tacoma). So I'm faced with having to get another ICE vehicle, and the inability to fuel at home bums me out.
