You get the benefit of the vast gasoline network but you also get the maintenance of both ICE and electric systems.

Plus carrying around the weight of both the batteries and the ICE with its tank of fuel.

Of course! EVs are more efficient again, however, in part because they can replace the space and weight of the engine and fuel tank with batteries.
