The funny thing is that it's only today that EVs have to be long-range. Probably in a few decades' time there will be charging stations everywhere so you wouldn't mind having a much shorter range. I know some people drive across the wilderness, but I personally almost never drive anywhere that isn't within a hundred metres of mains electricity. How hard would it be to add a metered tap everywhere where someone might need it? (OK, speed of charging might still be a problem.)
