This is exactly the kind of thing people that haven't experienced EV life get wrong. They see videos of shitty public chargers, apply that experience to their frequency of getting gas, and think it's an issue that is a deal breaker. It's not-- in the 70,000 miles I was DDing an EV, I used a public charger <10 times and had an issue zero times.

This is exactly where EV advocates lose me. It's 99% charging at home RIGHT NOW for early adopters who have the money and space for a charger, but this will change DRASTICALLY if we are going to be at full adoption in 10 years or so, a monumental amount of people will need public charging and no one wants to build it at the clip we need.
