Why would you want a car that can be used only for those tasks leaving you to seek other forms of transport for leisure and family?

The main positive factor of vehicle ownership is destination and route flexibility and if you trade that away then the advantage is gone.

We have two combustion cars, a Corolla and an Outback. The Corolla gets everyday use, the Outback goes on long trips or if I need to haul some furniture.

An EV to replace the Corolla would be ideal. Perfect spot for this scenario.

The main cost for cheap 2nd hand cars is the fuel in my experience. So you can have a cheap fuel commuter car and a "real" car for trips and towing your boat.

Requires parking for two cars though. But since we are talking about an EV it requires a house anyways since most apartments have no charging.

Yeah but you can manage the fuel within your cash flow. Difficult to get credit and manage the purchase of a large expensive car. And having two cars is too expensive as well.

Maybe so, but the average American family has about 2 cars. Lots of sources for that, but here’s one from top of search results:

America is not the world and is not the entire market.

Show me where I said or even implied that? Why must you argue and pick battles with everyone? Maybe time for a break?

True. The setup kinda requires that you need two cars in the first place.

Some families have to 2, 3 or even 4 cars. So it might not be such a bad idea.
