On the flip side, look how many people will spend 30+ minutes at Costco to save $6-10 on a tank.
Or the daily annoyances people rationalize away - like every time they park their Tahoe or F250 vs. a handful of times/year where they actually use the full capacity. Of course there are people who regularly need that much space, just as some people do regularly grind out 6+ hour drives with limited stop time.
The gap between actual problem vs. perception of possible problem will remain wide for a lot of consumers, and that's okay. The market will work to close that gap, even if it is irrational and a sub-optimal allocation of resources for society as a whole. EVs are still a big step forward, especially in denser populations.
