This is a very valid point. Recently I joined the EV bandwagon for an EV6 and I was super nervous about not being able to fill up at every corner. I've had it a month or so, and I haven't even installed a charger at home or work yet. I'm getting around to it, but it has not been a requirement.

There's a local DCFC that's really fast to 80%, and a fair amount of 5-7kw chargers that are SUPER cheap at places I go near.

I've learned to just live more slowly because of it and I'm ok with that. I drive slower and safer, I know when I need to charge might be a good time to take a walk or grocery shop or something, and I just kind of plan around that.

Heck, sometimes I sit there and read a book in peace and quiet. I can't speak for people who have kids; I might not want to deal with that, but as a married adult without kids I'm totally fine.


Camden NJ has a pretty successful story about removing their police department and replacing it with a new one:
