I don't know about that. I rarely use the brakes in my car, but I'm glad they're there. And I suspect most cars will go from showroom to junkyard without ever using the airbags :-)
And what exactly is "rarely". Say your electric range is 40 miles, but most of your trips are 45-50 miles. You'd have an engine that's rarely used, but which makes the vehicle practical.
