Neither you nor i are representative of the whole world.
I spent most of my life using primarily public transit.
That wouldn't work for you but it does for billions of people.
In some places small cars, scooters & bikes are more commonplace. That doesn't make pickups & SUVs useless elsewhere.
I've been hearing about how impractical EVs are since the Nissan Leaf shipped.
Since then nearly 20 million EVs has been sold worldwide.
While it's still a small fraction of the total passenger fleet, it's growing significantly every year and within 2 decades they should outnumber ICE.

how far are they going when they leave?
in any case once they get outside the city they live in there are plenty of high speed charging stations.
that said, i've been hearing for years that most of the charging networks - except for Tesla - don't do a very good job of maintenance so that's a concern that has to be addressed

I'm very surprised it's legal here. I thought the electric companies were legally required to serve their customers reliably, and not solely when they found it desirable to do so -- that's the agreement they made in exchange for being a natural monopoly (natural because you can't economically run more than one set of electric lines to every household). Apparently I was wrong about that?
