Faster charging would really make all the difference.
There's also nothing more miserable than being stuck in a queue for a fast charger with a colicy baby. I've offered people cash to get to the front of the queue, although no-one's ever accepted money when they understand why.
This is called a motorcycle! Mine can do 260-280km on a gas tank, still does huge trips. Once batteries work like gas, you're absolutely right.
How is this a motorcycle specific feature?
And while I only usually drive 300-350km in one piece, I don't want to buy a car where I have to fear that a drive of this sort ends up waiting to be towed because of battery degradation (500km will realistically be 450km in a few years), or because I missed the last charging station or got stuck in traffic with heating running, and the remaining few km dwindle in front of me.
It's rational to fear your phone being under 20% when you still need it. It's just as rational to have 20% buffer when charging your car battery.
In the end that is only two about 2 hour drive stints. And really spending time on those stints instead of getting to destination or being home later...
Different people have different requirements.
It took a few years to get there, people don't necessarily know immediately what they like best.
In the rest of the EEA, EVs sales are plummeting.

But yeah, it's for the environment, surely. Reverse the policy and see what happens.
