No, its just that folks don't get the idea that if you can find a decent cost on a EV and its your basically 2nd car, you drive the long range gas when needed..
Two cars aren't really necessary to pull that off, I do that very thing with just one car in my Volt.

I drive it daily and use no gas at all on my normal 38 mile 2-way commute, so basically it's an EV for my daily use. But for long trips I don't have to worry since it will go way over 300 miles on a tank, and I can just pull in to a gas station, fill it up like everybody else and go another 300 if necessary.

300 miles would have gotten me up into Georgia from my house had I chosen to evacuate for Irma, but I just boarded up and sat this one out.
