Here’s a more practical definition of mainstream:
CA has only 1 fast charging station per 5 gas stations, and they are by far the most kitted out state
And the biggest footprint of those is Tesla, which still is restricted to only Teslas
And a fill up with gas takes 5 minutes compared to up to 45 minutes at DCFC, assuming you aren’t waiting for one.
So yes “all major automotive companies offer EVs” but the mainstream experience that drivers expect is nowhere near there for an EV unless you own a home and have installed a charger.
