The only plausible approach to electric vehicles is a hybrid. Extending mileage by using electric motors with an IC engine makes sense to me. If you run out of electricity you can still, use gasoline to get home.

Plugin hybrids are less popular than EVs. At the end of 2022 only a million were sold. EVs totaled about 2.5M.

Plug-in hybrids fail the logic test. Somehow they got the worst of both technologies. The hybrids that, to me at least, make a bit of sense are the ones that charge batteries as you drive on the IC engine and use the electric motors for city driving or other low speed driving.
