EVs are so not ready for prime time for people who actually use their vehicles.

Conversely, even a short range EV covers the actual usage of probably 95% of normal drivers.
And when I have a fuel drop at home, I'll be sure to compare charging time to refill time. As it stands, I can recharge in my own garage, without driving five miles away, pulling out my debit card, touching a nozzle that's certain to be filthy, having an ad for telenovellas blared at me and nearly being side swiped by vacuous idiots every fifteen seconds.
Is an EV a great cross country travel option? Nope, but I've also never had a car with more than 300 miles of effective range and yet somehow, here I am at 47 and against the odds, I'm still doing fine. 500 mile range, sheesh, my wife and kid would lose their minds.
