Even with that there are other variables to consider. My wife and I like our EV as our main car (with the ICE pickup for secondary use, either pickup chores or days we need 2 cars to split up for the day, or the few times an EV isn't a good fit for a particular drive). So I'm not anti-EV. And I'm certainly not like the Dims being all about nothing-but-EV. But I probably wouldn't get one if I lived north of about Kentucky (too cold for normal use) or if I lived in a place where power rates were much higher than we have here in Alabama (unless you generate a lot of your power with solar). Or if I lived in a 3rd world area like Commiefornia where power isn't dependable. Or if I lived in an area where driving a long distance in any direction for a weekend drive means no fast chargers to refill in 10-15 minutes (meaning you'd drive your ICE care for every trip).
If you have variables like those working against you I wouldn't get an EV. But if you are in a situation without those drawbacks against EV's, then an EV might work as well for your situation as it does for ours.

ICE is always the dependable choice...Which is why you haven't replaced yours with a second EV.
BTW, EV sockpuppet fake news parrot.. I'm 76, lived in "commiefornia" my entire life and never suffered a brownout or power outage.
If 1 million people in California lose power we still have 6 times (600%) the population of Alabama WITH power.
