Lots of people use specific types of vehicles for specific types of work.
There's no one vehicle that will work for everyone.
I'm not the guy you were conversing with but in my line of work I need to haul lots of items often, and sometimes for long distances. That means I need cargo space, so either an SUV or a Truck.
I need to deliver those items or transfer those items across long distances, If I need to stop and recharge an electric vehicle 2-3 times that means my one day trip all of a sudden turns into an overnight stay in a hotel. I can't get my work done if all of a sudden a one day job turns into a two day job.
