The real reason is size & cost.
Americans love big giant cars, and especially cross-overs and trucks. None of these have had competitively priced EV versions until just this year, barely. You still need to spend north of $50K on an EV to get anything approaching the typical American car size. When some of these EV pickup trucks from mainstream makers ship in quantity, the needle will start to move.
Europeans are happily replacing small city cars with small sub-250mi range EVs.

In fact, here's a Mercedes EQV charging on a Tesla charger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI5EnOo05BE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI5EnOo05BE Broad choice of EVs, multibrand charging, bigger and better. It's too bad North America is still struggling to get its EV act together. Tesla is the last remaining CCS holdout. Hopefully they'll get more serious soon.
