Actually, that's mostly false. If you can charge at home, you'll have a fully charged car in your driveway every morning. With the Tesla charging network, you really can charge no matter where you want to go. Typically after 4 hours or so of driving, I'm ready to take a bathroom break, stretch my legs and get a coffee. By the time I'm back the car is charged to 80% or so, good to go for another 250 miles or so.

That's a very big IF. Over here in EU many (most?) people live in the apartment buildings of different types, and there are no charging spots on the parkings. Having to rely only on the EV stations is deal breaker when comparing with the similarly priced ICE. I can't see myself buying EV while renting an apartment.

PS: I do want to buy an EV. I'm not one of those ICE-only people.

There's a difference between it being doable and it not being a hassle. In even slightly rural areas you have to plan to stop at a small number of locations rather than just stopping whenever gas/food/break makes sense.

Having a SFH and a driveway is another nearly insurmountable requirement.
