That's the main thing holding EVs back in general, in my opinion. That, and the price of EVs. Batteries will get better with time, chargers will get faster. But if there aren't enough fast chargers all over the place like petrol stations, then the adoption of EVs will be too slow for prices to drop significantly until ICE vehicles aren't supposed to be produced anymore.

Also, I hope the electronics industry really gets their shit together in terms of recycling and sustainability.
