If I had one car (if I was single) I'd consider an EV. But again, that's only if I was hardly taking trips. That's me making life nicer for what I do plenty of (driving locally), even if it's at a small cost for the things I do rarely (driving on trips).
If I was retired and single (ie if my wife died and I became a widower) I'd probably be all about a gas car for the many long trips I'd be making visiting grandkids (but less local driving than during my working years).
In software design we sometimes refer to this approach as "a 90% solution". If it's infeasible to make a one-size-fits-all system we sometimes make sure the software is super efficient for what the user(s) normally use it for even if that means making it a little tedious for the features the user(s) rarely use. For example, since there's only so much space on the screen (be it a smartphone app or a webpage used mainly by laptop users) we'd make the most common features front and center with buttons, and put the least common features within menus or a configuration screen. So we have to pick which features would take the most prime real estate on the main screen to make life easier for the user 90% of the time. The whole strawman argument ("but I found one scenario that this would be bad for") is usually not good logic to use when making large decisions.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) found that in 2018, a total of 212,500 vehicle fires caused 560 civilian deaths in the US.Dec 8, 2021
and you can’t put out these fires with normal fire extinguishers A, B, C. You need “D” type extinguishers.
Cost of a D extinguisher is over $900
And you need TWO!
