> I just don’t buy this argument as a reason people don’t want EVs.

These descriptions are unrealistic to our experience. We're on our third EV, so plenty of experience with this. It's always a pain to go anywhere outside a small area. Just this week my partner needed to go to a nearby city 2hrs away. Round trip too long for the EV. Luckily my office is halway there and has chargers, so stopped by for 2.5hrs to top up the batteries. That's a longer refueling stop than the whole trip. Faster chargers exist but they are few and far between, usually broken or taken, so finding one is an exercise in frustration.

> You can install a charger at home, even a very slow one that doesn’t need a special circuit, and always have a full battery in the morning.

It takes us three days to fill up the car at home if it gets really low, not having a special circuit. So if the car was used yesterday it won't be full this morning.

The only way this works at all is because my partner normally only needs to commute about 30 minutes and only twice a week.
