The distances are easy to imagine, but the reasons to use a car to cross them are much more difficult to. Who in their sound mind would want to spend a whole day behind a steering wheel unless being paid for it? Flying longer distances is much faster. It also allows one to do something productive in the time - unless flying the airplane as a pilot, of course, but in this particular case it at least adds flight hours to the logbook and stay current so it can count as productive.

Defective public chargers are a problem on longer highway trips because then the ones that still work will have a queue of cars waiting for a charge. For short range trips it is far less of a problem since many larger supermarkets have chargers nowadays and half an hour of charging once a week when buying groceries is - for me at least - sufficient. YMMV of course, since i am in Germany, not Canada.

Do you have a gasoline pump at home?
I have no charger at home, but have been using an electric vehicle for the past few years and honestly, not being able to charge at home is the least of the problems that come with it. Defective chargers, both public and the onboard one, have caused me far more headaches.
