EVs aren't a great option for single car families unless you have friends or family that would like to trade vehicles when you need to travel further than the range allows.

Perhaps the i3 REX would be a good fit for you. It has a tiny gas generator for those extended trips. Those prices have already fallen drastically, and should continue to do so for the next year.
