Many people occasionally want a long range without stopping for hours
to recharge an electric car (much faster charges are possible, but
suitable charging points aren't common).


No electric car has a range anywhere near 600 miles on one charge. I was
referring to a conventional car. And again that in the UK I doubt many
drive 600 miles - or anywhere near it - without a stop.

On the other hand many families have more than one car, and only need one
of them to have a long range.
