EVs work when you are home where you are guaranteed to have a parking spot with a charger so it charges overnight without any hassle.

People rent cars when they are away from home. Nobody wants to have to worry about finding a working charging station in an unfamiliar city and have to spend hours there waiting for it to trickle charge because the fast charging is unavailable or broken.

Tangential but why are all of the fast charging stations broken? Traveling fucking sucks with an electric car. It wasn’t this way a year ago

Because the American public can't be trusted to treat anything well..The shit I saw working retail just working the checkout stand was fucking astonishing. Nobody reads prompts or listens to anything and end up breaking things due to ignorance.
