Not the chargers, the cars; the cars know how much juice they need and stuff

An EV doesn't use fuel when caught in traffic, except for as you said, AC and heat and such.
I wouldn't have one as the only household vehicle. But I did look at the number of times I actually drove 250* miles in one shot over the last 3 years, and it was one time. Hmm.
Your mileage may vary!

That's a wash, because an EV doesn't have a wildly complicated cooling system, alternator, transmission, fuel+oil level/quality/pump/filtering and everything else that can fail in the middle of a trip.
