What are you talking about? It's not at all uncommon for married couples to have two cars which are wildly different from each other. Haven't you seen couples where the wife drives some nice, new(er), fancy car, and the husband drives some old POS beater to work? Or where one drives a small econo or sporty car, and the other drives a van or SUV? Why wouldn't it be normal for (while EVs still have limited range and recharging on trips is a PITA) couples to have one nice EV for driving around town, and one possibly somewhat older gas car for the occasional long trip and for one of the partners to drive?
Or, they could have 2 EVs, and a third gas car reserved solely for longer trips. It's not that uncommon for families to have a third car. I knew a bunch of middle-class families while growing up who had three, one rarely used. Or, people could just rent a car. How often do you drive that far away anyway? A few times a year? Enterprise will even bring your rental car to you.
