If a person regularly needs to travel more than the range of an EV, then it's the wrong tool for the job. It costs much more than gasoline to quick charge an EV, and it takes much longer to "refuel", and you have to stop more frequently.
An EV is the right tool for shorter trips within the range of the battery, where the owner has access to charging either at home or at work.
I view the fast charge network as a last resort; for rare occasions where I'm unexpectedly running low on charge, or moving across country.
We don't need fast chargers to be as commonplace as gas stations. The point is that the "gas station" is at home. We need just enough chargers that EVs can get by in a pinch, or travel longer distances if the driver chooses to.
