If I was going on a trip without my wife I'll take our ICE pickup. But since my wife likes to stop every 200 miles and walk around 10 minutes, our EV is conducive to road trips with her.

I'd rather put the gas pump in the tank, at an affordable price, giving oil riggers work. Going inside the store when nature is calling, afterwards buying a Slim Jim and I am on my way all in 10 minutes.
What is so "evil" about that?
And there is the reason I got an EV. If the price of gas was set by the oil riggers or anyone else in the free market it'd be cheap. But the gubment gets in between us and oil/gasoline. Frankly, they're doing the same with electricity: trying to make all of the U.S. have the same 3rd world experience California has with less reliable electricity at higher costs.
Except for me. The EV allows my wife and I to drive locally about 50 miles/day if we want almost entirely free; my ICE pickup doesn't do that. That's because I can't drill and process my own oil or natural gas. But I can produce my own electricity with the sunlight God graces our property. 95% of all the power we consumed since my upgrade of my solar came from the solar system -- including charging the EV. I expect that to average 90% across the year after I experience my first winter with the solar upgrade (I predict about 70% through the 2 lowest sunlight months, and that's even with no natural gas bill to heat my all-electric home).
