I see initial adoption targeting two car households. For example my spouse and I have a gas powered Honda CRV. It’s fairly new and we plan on keeping it for 10+ years. Just took it on a road trip across the country and it worked really well.

The other car is gas powered, but we could totally replace it with an electric vehicle. Most day to day driving is in a city, and we drive less than 20 miles a day total. So having a vehicle with a 200-300 mile range is ok for that.

However if you are single and only have one vehicle then yeah getting an EV right now is probably not feasible if you do long road trips. I suppose you could fly or get a rental car for those once in a while trips though.
