>You're misrepresenting the current argument.
It's not talking about the current argument. It's saying the current argument shares the property of arguing against the use-cases of people outside the target demographic.
People who argue "electric cars will never be viable" (and not anyone in this thread) commonly complain about lack of supercharging speed, despite that being a feature that most people (and all initial adopters) will only use once or twice a year, if ever. This will not be a problem for a long time, as right now only ~1% of car users have an EV and that won't be a major problem until we start running out of ICE car-owning EV buyers who don't need that, which is at least at the 50% mark.

Agreed but it's partially due to EV manufacturer/fan's advertisement. They should say that what you need is just plug in at home for most days, rather than supercharging.
