I put my 15 gallons of diesel in every two or three weeks, or every 500 miles. That’s about $2 or less a day, and I cruise at 75mph 30 miles a day... Plus the speed limit is generally 45-60 in town... non freeway.
When they get the charging down to 15 minutes or less, and range at 75 into the 500 mile range, they’ll be practical cars, instead of urban commuters. If you can’t jump in and drive 800 miles in 10 hours or less, With only one 10 minute stop, they aren’t really that useful for the money invested.
Shoot, save 20grand, buy a pos 94 Corrolla for 1k and make bank and be greener too!
A far as the pandemic, I haven’t changed my way of living much except I won’t wait in line to go in a store so I only go to target to browse crap now and don’t go browse at Walmart anymore. And my commute is actually longer now that I’m taking my daughter to family instead the day care on the way to work.
Still go cruise For an hour or two now and again to keep the cars charged.
Stay at home? Lol. I work from home, I need to get out of work once a day and go house shopping or dvd shopping, or food shopping or something.

I'd completely agree that if you work from home and your primary car is a 4 cylinder eco diesel, you're not going to save much going to an EV.
