I can see public charging as more useful in Europe, but I don't see it really becoming much of a selling point in the US. The people that buy EVs here charge at home or at work, and don't charge elsewhere much at all.

Long distance travel in an EV is mostly a novelty/curiosity here.

I don't see lack of charging infrastructure to be much of a barrier to entry here. Cost and lack of variety are the 2 biggest reasons people might not buy one.
