We need some sort of infrastructure that delivers electricity around a country and only then will this work

It always amazes me people use the infrastructure argument against EV adoption. Electricity infrastructure is nearly universal worldwide and clearly more available than gasoline. Also recharge times on new Teslas is very impressive of not irrelevant to most of the population that can recharge at home

And even if they admit that the infrastructure exist, they vastly overestimate the amount of power needed to charge an EV at home.

People actually believe you need a 150kW+ charger at home, when reality is that if you have a socket that can handle an electric kettle, you can charge an EV from it.
