You can fill up on gas at any street corner in minutes
In ~100k miles of US cross country traveling over the last five years, the only place I could not charge fast was middle of nowhere southeast Missouri, and there is a Supercharger there now. My gym has a free destination charger, as does my local brewery and airport parking. I no longer carry a 100ft 120V extension cord in my frunk, which I had to do in 2018.
Yes, we still have much to do to expand EV charging infra, but it’s not an unknown, it’s just more work. Street parking? Street charging. Renters? Mandated EV charging spot quotas with funding for the infra.

Let's find that driveway in apartment blocks then
For example, the management company that manages the apartment building where I rent my apartment has sent out a newsletter that they will convert 2000 parking places in their properties by 2025 with the following caveats:
- except where infrastructure doesn't support it
- except where there's not enough power to draw from the building
- except where it's prohibitively expensive to build the infrastructure
They manage 395 buildings with a total of 20 000 apartments.
Funny how "it's easy and convenient" is actually never easy or convenient.
Until then, they can pull their ideoligical MAGA hats deeper over their foreheads. It won't change reality.
