For a single person - yes. For a married couple an EV paired with an ICE car works great. How many times are most couples 100 miles away from home, at the same time, but not together?

...and without friends or family.
EVs will get to the price point where having it as a 2nd vehicle will make sense for many people in fuel savings alone.
Regarding maintenance/fixing things, I love to do it, but I don't have time. Working on the constant issues with my truck is a love/hate relationship, but mostly hate because things like blower motor resistors should just never have problems. A resistor is the simplest electronic component you can make. Not having AC is uncomfortable when you're working hard on a humid summers day. Speedo/odometer/cruise not functioning are other annoyances.
