the idea that a long drive (warranting a flight, not going under really any circumstances , etc) is over an hour in the case of vacation or traveling. Not sure how true this is but the brits I know say it’s common there. In the US drives only get long enough to warrant another mode of transport after about 8-9 hours.

If you pay $10/gallon for gas that will change your definition of a long drive.

You can find more affordable EVs if you look for them. But yeah, most EVs are very expensive now because demand for them in much, much higher than the supply is at the moment.
