I agree with you. Cars seem to be discussed as an all or nothing decision process.

Many families where I am have two cars. Both cars spend an inordinate amount of time driving around the city. One car will be the preferred long distance family hauler.

Simply making the other car full electric seems like a no brainer to me.

In my family we kept the Impreza, but the electric (Tesla 3) became the long-distance hauler. It turns out to be cheaper to run long distances, quieter and more comfortable, and surprisingly has more room for baggage. We couldn't find a single reason to keep using the Impreza for long distance.
