This is my exact use-case. I want a sub-compact EV SUV (because of ground clearance due to shitty roads) as a daily driver, but I also want to keep my gas car for my occasional 3-hour drives to neighboring cities to watch concerts. Not having to stop to charge so I can get home by 1AM on a weekday is convenient.
And if the charging network improves and you're able to charge while grabbing dinner or parked at the concert, bada bing bada boom
Might a PHEV suit your requirements?
I was considering that, but a friend of mine gave a good argument that a PHEV also gives you double the issues, that of a gas car and an EV. So it might be better to just go for either a full gas or full EV car so you only have problems for one type of vehicle. But if you could only afford one, for sure a PHEV is a very interesting option.
