Most people buying an EV don't buy because of efficiency. One is ideological (I don't want pay the gas tax), another is performance (EVs have full torque at 0 rpm). Then there's Tesla's (successful) war against dealerships. Some people simply don't want to ever talk to a dealer ever again. Honestly, I'd prefer more mass transit and less cars but I don't think that's going to be solved in the US any time soon. Agreed charging network evolution is required for people who don't have capability to charge at home or work fully. Right now EVs are great if you own a home + solar which means you don't pay for fuel at all, and fine even without solar if you have decent electricity rates.
