Yeah EVs are definitely more difficult for single car households in the current-state. It's certainly doable but I understand not wanting to do it. Same for people who tow, live in super cold climates, etc.
The reality is consumers have a wide spread of needs, and no one car or powertrain (ICE vs EV) is perfect for everyone. Right now, EVs make sense for a subset of consumers. That subset will continue to grow as range increases, prices come down, and infrastructure expands.
My issue with buying an EV right now is the rate of improvement is so rapid, that if you buy now your options will be so much better in 3 - 5 years. That's fine with something like an iPhone 4, but not a $60K asset.
