I think you're underestimating the Tesla supercharger network. It basically solves both of those problems (if you have a Tesla) and live in the vicinity of one - if you don't live near one then it still solves the second issue.
The infrastructure is expanding rapidly, so your "unless" is a fairly safe bet.

- sokoloff 8y agoI've been hearing promises of the $35K Model 3 for 2.5 years now. I'm still taking the "over" on early next year for broad availability of a $35K Model 3.
- Merad 8y agoAccording to Tesla's map there are only 12 supercharger stations in my state. That seems be a pretty typical number for most of the US outside of Southern California and a handful of other major areas. That might be enough to support a handful of enthusiasts and early adopters, but it's a drop in the bucket when your goal is to have millions of people using EVs as their primary vehicle.
