>I don't buy a vehicle for the average use case -- I buy it for the edge cases. When I need to be able to move stuff or tow a trailer, I can. If I needed to cross the country tonight because of a family emergency, I could. I think this is a fairly common mindset for most people, That really isn't the common mindset. If it was, everyone would be driving huge 7 seater trucks for the edge case where they need to haul some lumber with their 7 person family. Most people buy a car for their typical needs. If they want to move a lot of stuff, they rent a van or a trailer. If you needed to cross the country tonight because of a family emergency you could do that in any car, EV or fossil fuel. A modern EV might take you longer because of charging stops, but when you factor in scheduled breaks of a typical cross country drive, the charging times don't actually add up to a lot more at all. >You're right that most people don't need a 22kW charger for their car, and they can wake up with a full tank every morning, but most people are probably also averse to the idea that their car has a downtime of several hours when they might really need it If you need a full car then you drive to a fast charger and charge it. They exist for this exact purpose of needing a fast charge. I can charge my car to 80% in like 20 minutes.
