You present a valid argument but I think comparing an EV being charged every morning to not always having a full fuel tank in an ICE, in the morning, is apples to oranges.
From that perspective the EV has an advantage but it’s not a direct comparison.

You sometimes don't have full tank every morning because that's when you go full up.
Going to fill up is a chore much different from plugging it at home .
Charging up at a station is still a bigger chore but on a different relaxed way

This is my experience. We use the EV for everything, except drives to West Texas — although I saw plenty of EVs in Alpine, and a few down in Terlingua(!). If I had a no-shit 400 mile EV, I'd never look back.

Or more chargers in West Texas?
It seems to me that desire for capacity above 250-300 miles is mostly just accommodation for the lack of availability and slowness of chargers.

> Not sure what kind of EV you have.
Time in/on?
Almost all of them including Ferrari.
My wife drives the EV most days. I cannot count the number of times I have been running late and had to stop to fill my gas guzzler up. It is freeway most of the way to work ( no gas stations ) and I have risked it more than once. The EV “tank” is full every morning so it never puts her through that.
In practice, I have way more range anxiety in my ICE vehicle than my wife does in her EV.
Supplements and town cars? If I could afford a new vehicle, my ICE vehicle would be the supplement.
