An EV would not be a good choice to drive across the country. Also, a Camry would not be a good choice if you need to haul lumber.

Yes. Why? Because we can, we want to, and in some cases it's necessary.
I have travelled globally fairly extensively, and realize that high mileage automobile travel is not the norm in many countries. It is, however, for a certain segment of the US populace.
In Europe, for example, intercity train travel is fairly common. I have used this mode of transport while in Europe, and it is excellent. In the US, this option is poor or non-existent. Mostly non-existent.
