In some, especially rural, areas, the charger infrastructure probably isn't there and public transit isn't viable in all cases. I'm thinking of industries like farming, forestry, etc. That said, that's probably a fairly tiny portion of overall ICE usage for normal vehicles (I'm assuming construction equipment, tractors, etc. aren't included in this).
I think it might also be financially difficult in some cases where people really do need a car (thinking rural life again, here), but are living on a very tight budget. That could also potentially be handled with subsidies and such, but I don't know how that would practically work.
Edit: I just noticed I replied to the wrong comment, sorry ๐
You're thinking America, Norway is small enough you can go without charging for a good while and it has lots of small cities, you can have enough charge to go to some city to "refuel" without issue. Yeah it'll not be fast, but you won't need several full charges to go from one end of the country to another
2300 km from one tip to the other, shining a range of 500km (done models go over 600 some others just above 400, so seems reasonable middle ground) that would be just over 4 charges, but this drive is already going to take over 29 hours. One of these charges will be overnight, not causing issues for your travel and you can charge while you eat lunch, so it would take away 2 other charging sessions. That would leave with a single charge session unaccounted for. Honestly it seems pretty good
