Sutherlin to Cody isn't an issue. 1 hour 47 minutes charging time enroute according to "A Better Route Planner." If I was in the car I'd just plug in my destination and the car would calculate the route and charging stops in a few seconds. (In a Tesla at least.) Yes, filling with gas takes less time, but I need to stretch my legs and grab a drink when I stop.I've never had to wait more than an extra five minutes while charging on a road trip. And even then, I need that time to stretch a bit on long trips. Making the drive listed, I know I'm going to be stopping for more than 1:47 regardless of what I'm driving. Plus, I'm saving roughly 26 hours a year not ever needing to spend time fueling up. Charging at home costs me a couple of seconds of time to plug the car in.Unless you want to drive from say, Sutherlin Oregon to Cody, Wyoming on a road trip. Or numerous other road trips. For routine commuter use electrics are great, but then a lot of commutes are a waste of time and money anyway.
That said, yes there a few use cases where gas cars are still preferable. Off roading. Towing long distance. Driving long distance in rural areas every day for a living. Within five years the latter case will be better served by an EV. As for long distance towing, the change is coming but I'd just be guessing if I listed a timeline for that. For normal off roading, EVs will be superior within a couple of years. For extreme off roading, I doubt EVs will get there in the foreseeable future.
Other than these caveats, EVs are simply superior to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. Way, way better to drive. A tiny fraction of the maintenance. (Brakes every 200,000 miles or so, if even that much. Zero coolant changes. Zero lubricant changes. No transmission to fail. Electric motor failure rates are a tiny fraction that of ICE failure rates. Etc. ) I'm paying about 1/8 in electricity what I paid for gas to run our cars. Road trips are worse, you only save about 1/2. My crossover SUV is faster around a track than a Porsche Turbo 911, and faster 0-60 than 99% of the muscle cars on the road. Better. It's like the difference between an AR15 and a muzzle loader. The muzzle loader had it's day and is fun to shoot, but which one are you taking into battle?
