> Parity means you can charge your car in 5 minutes and then drive 3-400 miles, as you can in a gas car, access to repair facilities, and an average lifetime equivalent to regular cars.

So yes, it sounds like your definition of "parity" means it can do everything a gas car can and more.

If electric cars were first, would you demand that gas cars need to be able to power your house to reach "parity"?

I don't think you're using a good definition of parity. Two things with different strengths and weaknesses can be at parity if they mostly even out.

Electric cars have been around 150 years. Yes, parity means... parity in practicaluty to the end user.

There are multiple kinds of practicality where electric cars do better, and you're skipping them for some reason.
