Lets make this a reasonable discussion that speaks to the majority of users and use cases.

80% of EV owners charge at home, at night while sleeping and at work, while parked.(USDOE)
Most use L1 or L2 charging at home and would be happiest w/ L2 at home. Nothing more is required.

65% of EV owners bought a second EV in 2021
(over 90% of Tesla owners bought another Tesla, when purchasing again- obviously this will lower as others gain market share)

General driving habits in the US:

Americans drive:
-39 miles per day

-14k miles per yr
-30% of that is work commute
-76% travel alone

As stated, New car owners keep their cars on avg 8 yrs

*figures dropped 45% during the pandemic
now back up to record numbers

Though completely legitimate, charging stations and road trips with ev's are good click bait and internet debate topics, they are not real-world issues for most ev users in the US or globally.

For the majority, even globally, EV's are just a better product for the job. That's not even going into the superior daily experience and efficiency as a product.
