This is just bad data.
Interesting tid bit, when I worked for a Japanese OEM many years ago, the odds of getting killed BY a car were greater than getting killed in a car.
Pedestrian density plays a big factor in this.

I don’t think anyone suggested everybody wants one. M a big proponent of EVs but I don’t want one…….yet.

Fact, next year there will likely not be a waiting list for Lyriqs. But I would have thought that for Broncos and it’s still got awaiting list.

Fast chargers are way faster than that. 80% in 18 minutes. So if you have a 300 mile range car, you’d be spending 18 minutes every 200 miles or so. Longer than a gas and go but if you add lunch and a potty stop you are about there. But this remaining hurdle is why I remain hesitant. Fast chargers aren’t at every exit on the highway so it still requires planning you don’t have to do in an ICE. BUT THE EV owners I know have crossed this emotional hurdle and accept the planning necessary.
