This wholly depends on your use case.

Most of my miles are done on long journeys. I live in a terraced house and can’t charge at home. UK charging infrastructure seems pretty underdeveloped so far. My 2018 petrol car does 600 miles on a tank.

The upshot of all that is that an EV would give me half the range at twice the cost, and a headache every time I needed to charge it.

I really want EVs to get better, and I’m sure they will. But for now, they’re hugely inferior for me.
