EVs certainly have some advantages, but for most of the world's population "convenience" isn't one of them.
If you live in a house with a garage where you can install a charger and you use your car mostly as a runabout, it's great.
The majority of the western world lives in cities with street parking and fewer chargers than vehicles, though, and in that situation it's far more convenient to spend five minutes at the gas station on your way to the office than it is to find a spot to charge your car for three hours which may or may not be anywhere close to where you actually need to go.
All you have to do is look at the census. 2/3rds of households have a garage or carport. If you add to this the number of people with private parking, that's like 80+% of people who can have chargers subsidized by the state.
It's always important to look at numbers before you get trapped in your bubble.
The irony. I didn't realise that the UK (and in fact a large portion of Europe) wasn't part of the western world.
Speaking of bubbles, I wrote "majority of the western world," which admittedly surprisingly stretches beyond America.
Two-thirds of households in, say, Berlin absolutely do not have carports, garages, or private parking.
The US followed suite and has also forced support for CCS when applying for subsidy programs to grow Tesla's charging network.

The car finds chargers on it's own. It shows you exactly what's available at each charger. Hardly anything is ever broken.
EVs are far easier and more convenient than gas cars. It's the non Tesla infrastructure that just sucks.
