EV chargers tend to be in places you actually want to be, such as shopping centers with decent restaurants and coffee shops. Yes, you absolutely can make two stops in a ICE vehicle - a gas station, then an optional stop to visit a shopping center. But people tend to stay where they stop then get back on the road. It’s not the power source that’s being discussed, it’s where the existing refueling infrastructure exists today. Reality is gas stations exist because gasoline is a noxious toxic pollutant that tends to explosively combust at worst and pollute the soil with benzene at best so you don’t generally mix it with a lot of other use. EV chargers are none of these things, and so can be placed literally anywhere in existing infrastructure like shopping centers and malls. I agree, I have no issue taking long distance trips in my EV. My cars range is about 5 hours of driving, after which I am more than happy to get out at a charging station with a nice restaurant and eat some food, then drive to my stopping point for the day. I’m not really sure being able to drive 10 hours with a 5 minute stop for gas is a benefit over driving 10 hours with a 25 minute stop for a charge, especially if I do the 5 minute gas refuel then drive to the restaurant with the EV charger to eat for another 25 minutes. That’s 5 minutes of extra time to get gas rather than refueling at the same time.
