EVs are still in their infancy and Americans being Americans won't buy one as an ICE replacement unless it can go as far as their old gas guzzler and fill up in about the same time. That and the infrastructure is abysmal and it's much worse when you consider that charging stations for non-tesla EVs are generally borked at slow charging speeds if they even work at all.
The only reason I'm even considering an EV for my next car is because there's still going to be an ICE car at the house for long trips and it'll get me where I need to go on a full charge for daily use without any issues. Sadly, where I live means that if you don't have a car, you can't participate in society otherwise I'd be fine without a car period.
But people don't have gas tanks at home to start every day will a full tank.
