I suspect at some point we'll see an efficient low-range EV for around town, and short commuting, charge it each night at home. A second long-range gas/diesel for vacations and longer mileage trips. Most families have two vehicles now, for that very reason, it's just that more often both are fuel vehicles in not an EV.
I think this is already happening to some degree. Nissan leafs are pretty cheap new or used and have a reasonable range for most people. Depending on the year and model anywhere from 120 to 200 km. What people are finding though is that they are putting the vast majority of their miles on the EV as it becomes their go to car. I think a lot of those will end up replacing their primary vehicle with tesla model 3's, bolts and new 2018 model leafs all with around 400km of range. Decisions will obviously be influenced by infrastructure in their area and on the routes they travel as it was with us. In the two years since we bought our first EV the charging infrastructure has tripled in our province. Growing even faster in Europe though.
