I actually have had severe issues with an EV and I had a Tesla with a 300 mile rated range. I had to park up somewhere overnight and charge from a wall outlet (more than once). I had to charge it to full every time before I went home (no on street charging, on the road often I'd be parked too far from the house to plug it in) because otherwise on my next journey I might need to take 30+ min out or a detour to charge.
Overall the acceleration was great but charging was just a huge faff compared to a car or van that I can "charge to full" basically anywhere in sub 5 mins.
The range of an EV is not the same as the range of an ICE because of that difference, you actually need a longer range for a comparable experience.
