With a gas car, you can take off on foot and walk to a gas station or call literally anyone to give you a bit of gas. EVs on the other hand have to be towed if they run out. Also, it is far easier to predict how far you can get on a tank of gas, and they are like a mile apart or less in any slightly populated place.


Point is, for day to day driving, you never have to worry about this because you start your day with full range. So EVs get you the benefit of never having to worry about getting gas when late for something, and never having to get gas in general from your daily commute. The tradeoff is, the few times you do want to go further than your range, it's a bit harder. But since those trips are usually on my leisure days, I personally don't mind that at all.
