Hmmmmm, I do it every night for a plugin hybrid Chevy volt. Plug it in after dinner, unplug and use it all day after breakfast. Of course it has a pretty fixed range of 35 miles, but that is what works for my use. Plus in the used market it cost less than $10k. Different strokes for different folks.
You’re not an idiot. Your Volt simply has a smaller capacity battery and fits your use case.
