It is and it isn't.
For so many people, almost all their driving would be covered by EV and the outliers are incredibly occasional. Tbh it very much falls in to the "need" 4x4 because camp.
However, Jameo has correctly identified a number of flaws in people's general assumptions. They assume no budget. They assume no range degradation.
What I'm hearing is different people have different use cases.
Range anxiety is a crappy framing of it, I think.
Really, it's choice. It's choice that you think you being robbed of if you go full EV, because going full EV means (presently) being really intentional and structured in your plans. Some folks are OK with this. Most folks are not. Like it or not some form of ICE means being able to change and adapt your plans, and a lot of folks value this.
