Have you been using an EV in your daily life for at least a few months? Honest question.
I haven't.
But still I'd imagine I'd strongly prefer swapping the canisters (even several times a day) over having to basically plan the structure of the day around the charging of the EV, as the foundational element. Which is what you'd probably have to do, if you don't always make short trips that only use 15 % of battery capacity.
Being spontaneous is really what makes owning a car useful for most people. And I think you'd loose a good part of that with an EV. (I don't even own a car, by the way. Nor do I drive one more than a handful times a year at most.)
