 Studies have shown most people drive a limited amount of daily miles.

 EVs can deal with local drivers, just fine.  In small town America,
it's not prudent to drive one mile for a gasoline engine...too many
cold engine drives.  Where I live, some use electric golf carts to get
around in the small city, some 13 miles from where I live.

I visited a great aunt and uncle a few years ago, they live in a golf community in Florida.  Most of the retirees there hardly drove at all, there were golf carts everywhere in the street.
