Totally agree. I wouldn’t want to ride cross country on an electric bike. I strongly feel that the future should include both.
My brother recently totaled his Chevy Volt. He was displaced by an EF4 tornado last year and could no longer charge at home, so thankfully it still had a gasoline engine too. The same tornado carried off my Corolla and left it crushed under a tree, so I got an electric scooter that fits in the hatch and helps us make use of free public chargers for his Volt: Park, plug, pop the hatch, and ride off on the scooter.
I had to use it to commute all the way to work multiple times* and soon realized the personal electric vehicles like scooters and eBikes were the more realistic way to “go electric” with gas vehicles being reserved for rainy days and longer trips.
*including today. Unfortunately, he totaled his Volt last week.
