I think you slightly misunderstood my point - I'm not arguing that we should or shouldn't built out a denser charging network. I'm just pointing out that from the standpoint of the consumer today, the fact that they can't hop in an electric and drive across country with the same lack of planning that they can with a gasoline vehicle is potentially significant. Obviously many people are ok with that tradeoff, but it's likely that a much larger portion of the market will open up to electrics once consumers can essentially treat their electric as they would any other car. I suspect that ultimately the solution will be a combination of many things working together: consumer education, longer range batteries, denser charging networks.
