Yes, that's what I've been saying. People using range as an excuse not to get an EV have a simple solution called borrowing a vehicle. Most households have multiple vehicles anyhow.

I probably know 20 people that would trade me their gasser for my hypothetical EV for a week.

Hoping this year is my year for buying a used EV. Possibly even new if I can get $10k in tax rebates. I'd probably go for the cheapest EV offering, which I think at the moment is the Gen II Leaf.
