Hmm, my thinking was that journeys that use the full range of the electric vehicle are the exception though.

So in your example, it makes sense to have a ICE vehicle as you require the range. Most of us though don't need that range. Most of us are unlikely to regularly be driving over 200 miles for a commute, and therefore EVs make sense for all of these people.

For your scenario, if you are motivated enough to do this, it might even work out cheaper to buy an EV, and rent an ICE car for your longer trip. But fair enough that this would be much less convenient.
