One more thing you can add in range comparison between a EV and a ICE is: I was ask what is the range of my electric, I said it may have the same range of a ICE some of the time and more at other times.
The EV has the same maximum range every day, because I charge it once a day or after each trip. Some ICE's do not have that maximum range daily, because they may only fill up once every two weeks or once a month. Thus the convenient of filling up the EV at home may only take 3.5 minutes to charge.

" Perhaps we should have another computation available, as comparison, for each vehicle: Cost to drive 40 miles (Average daily commute.) (Dollars per mile.) Time to drive 1,000 miles? Cost for all fuel consumed? Time to drive 2,000 miles ? Cost? Time to drive 3,000 miles ? Cost? Distance drivable in eight hours? Cost? Distance drivable in 16 hours ? Cost ? Footnote: assuming 65 mph average speed and stops as needed for charging or refueling. Not including driver's breaks for food and "necessary" stops...
