I've been saying electric cars are never going to catch in until they can keep up with gas on affordability and how far you can go. This is how you compete with gas!

Charge speed is also extremely important. People keep waxing on about it only takes 15min to charge, but that's is 3-4x as long as pumping gas.

Imagine if we all switched to electrical with those charge times, gas stations would become clogged almost immediately.

95% of charging would be done at home, since I get tons of energy from the sun. I have a feeling many other people would be doing the same. Highway stations are a different story though.

Non EV owners can't grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.
