The worries about the availability (and performance) of the public charging infrastructure are largely a non-issue that non-EV users have been lobbied to worry about.
Over 70% of all EV users charge at home.
I'm on my third EV (inc an i8) and for the past 5 years or so an EV has been the daily driver for our family. In all that time I've never even SEEN a public charging station much less used one.
I know this is NOT the case for ALL EV drivers, but the vast majority just plug their cars in at home and let them charge overnight (just like a cell phone). I don't give a crap about the public charging infrastructure cause I'm not taking any road trips over 200 miles in my EV that require me to stop often or for long periods. We have an ICE powered car for that. (Most families have 2+ cars and one car can likely be an EV).
Who the hell is going to stop every 62 miles to charge their car? 200+ miles range is where its at...
