It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Plus, peddling and just bringing along the small, standard outlet battery charger

One additional accessory for away-from-home charging is to leverage EV charging stations, which are publicly mapped and often free. There are adapters that plug into the station, and then offer an IEC 320 c13 plug (aka PC plug), which a lot of ebike chargers can receive.

Range anxiety seems like it would largely be a non-issue for ebike owners

I'm poised to agree, since if I feel like I'm short on range, I can substantially improve the situation by running slower or lowering the power-assist level. And worse case, when the battery runs out, I still have a mechanically intact (albeit heavy) conventional bicycle.
