I would counter your charging anecdote almost entirely with my anecdote. I have never had to worry about arriving at a destination without enough to make it to another supercharger, that worked great in 2022 when I got my model 3 and works great today. I have never had so much as a single issue with a supercharger not working or being out of service and not saying it on the car screen. I don't have any rebuttals for your other points: winter range stinks, and tires wear faster than gas equivalents. EVs really need a battery innovation to add another 100 estimated miles to really push them into the mainstream imo. If we can get to the 450ish range that would help a lot.

The range thing is weird, because it’s simultaneously too little for your use case, and too much for mine. What I want is a shorter-range (like 200 km/125 miles would be perfect, it gives enough buffer by being about double the max range I’d ever need in practice) that saves on upfront cost and weight by having a smaller battery that can be my household’s secondary city car. But as-is, there’s no EV that’s cheap enough to justify buying as a cheap, low-range city car.

So instead of my household having one EV and one gas car, we’ve got two gas cars.

Leaf? At least around me used ones are super cheap, although it looks like the new generation might change things up a bit
