Not everyone, Daveg, but I do. My sons family live in Stuttgart, which from here in the south of France is slightly over 560 miles each way. I can do that in my diesel E class on 3/4 tank. No-one has been able to explain to me satisfactorily how that is possible in an EV without at least one, and possibly two ( or more) stops for a full re-charge, and avoiding any problems with a suitable hook-up not being available.
A pal of mine had to deliver a BMW i3 from South Yorks to the Bristol area. It's an ev with a donkey engine to charge the battery. Running at motorway speeds he was on donkey power all the way and had to stop 4 times for fuel because the damn thing only held 9 litres of petrol. Useless and pointless. I am not in any way convinced that an ev us any use unless you live in Islington and then don't go outside London.
