There are two camps here: One understands what basic-ass AC charging can do and that overnight charging takes care of all local needs full stop. That's me, wishing we focused on this. The other imagines EVs getting used like ICE vehicles, and pulls the trigger assuming this makes sense.

I would wager every report you see from someone being dissatisfied with an EV is someone who could not charge at home and got one anyway. And every report you see where EV owners question what on Earth people are thinking comes from people who can charge at home.

“Fit charging to your life, not life to your charging” is our motto at work. The more people learn that, the faster EV adoption will go. Home charging is the easy win, plentiful L1/L2 public chargers will take things even further (see Northern Europe).

Considering how overly worried about crime the average suburbanite is, you’d think that “You’ll never have to be at a gas station after dark ever again” would be a selling point for EVs.

even semi-local. i live in ann arbor and regular trips to detroit and back wouldn't be a big deal with an EV. we're talking ~100mi round trip even the drive to catch the total solar eclipse in ohio would've been doable with an EV - no need to even bother finding charging stations along the route
