I don't think driving around the country is the main selling point of a car, at least not around here. Huge commutes by car are not a usual thing in my environment, au contrary, I know companies who actively push against that.

If I have a car and I cannot do a weekend trip with it, why did I spend the money?

  EVs are fine for weekend trips, you just have to spend a little more time taking breaks.

    Plus avoid when everybody else is having a holiday trip (assuming charging stations don't have unlimited bays available)

      If you have kids in school you can only have trips when everybody else is having them.

  I carry groceries and sometimes (rarely) do my short commute - 30 minutes electric instead of 50 minutes in PT. Vacations by car are maybe twice a year (I always prefer PT) and then, like the other commenter said, I stop anyway at almost every highway stop for a coffer or whatever, so the fast charger can fastly charge. So for this usage model, electric is yay.
