Even here, if you have the car just for city driving you'll be fine unless you're doing some obscene commute

I don't think many US families would be on-board for having to buy at least two cars; an electric one for the city and a gas one for any road trips, family visits, camping, etc. Like everything it's a money issue. Convincing people to spend more money for a less convenient option is a fool's task

Don't most middle class families have multiple cars? Every house in my neighborhood has a car for each parent and at least one for the school aged child. Oh and the dad's always seem to have "project cars".

Yes, but then you'd need two city cars for the parents, one city car for the kid, AND one gas 'long distance car'

Either way you splice it you'll need the extra car. And if you argue "why can't one parent just drive the gas car full-time" then we come back to the dilemma of "why buy an electric car in the first place?" People are practical. Unless there is a huge motivator, usually money, they won't make the move.

Well that shows how fucking sheltered you are and out of touch you are.
