For me personally the biggest range issue is being able to go to Lake Louise and back in the winter, without needing to worry about charging at the hill or on the way home.
If I'm going to Edmonton or something, finding a quick charger isn't the end of the world unless I was in a real rush. A road trip to the coast could be slightly more annoying, because I don't tend to like to stop much. Also visiting people might get awkward while traveling...(can I, uh, bum a charge?)
But I think most people would see a big benefit of electrifying some portion of their commute and city driving, while having an ICE for bigger trips. We don't commute by personal vehicle, so their is very little incentive to electrify right now, but I know we are not typical.
