The governor promised back in 2018 that there would be 200 stations by now. There's about 65 and on any given day half of them are closed due to supply or operational issues.
On the other hand, there are charging stations in pretty much every shopping center in town now. To point you almost want to get an EV just for the prime parking spots.
You basically end up paying for 1/3 of the vehicle, and are renting it for 3 years.
Most folks aren't driving more than 400-500 miles in a single day. A single 15ish minute supercharger stop in a Tesla (or one of the new fast charging EVs from a few other brands- NOT the one in this deal) gets you there... on a 500 mile trip you'd probably stop that long at least once in a gas car too for drinks, fuel, using restroom, etc.
So no lost time there at all. If you're in the deep minority who wants to drive like 600+ miles in a day a second 15 minute stop gets you there just fine in an EV (or ~700+ if one of your two stops is say the length of a sit down meal which you'd probably want on a 700+ mile single day drive)
Meanwhile the OTHER 99% of the year you waste at least 5-10 minutes each time you have to stop at a gas station, likely 1-2 times a week.... (the actual pumping might be 2 minutes, but everyone ignores the time to pull out of traffic into the station, pay/deal with nozzle and cap on both ends, then get back out into traffic and back to speed).... every week... While the EV owner just parks at home, plugs in, and wakes up to a "full tank" every morning.
In other words, over any given year, the EV owner "wastes" far less time fueling their vehicle than a gas car owner does.
28% of households only have one car. Off that bat, that's a huge swath of people who'll likely never buy an EV because they don't want to give up the convenience of a gas car for long road trips.
Look what happened to the truck market. They went from inexpensive work vehicles to gargantuan 4 door lifestyle/luxury family haulers with short beds with prices approaching $100k.
People want a vehicle that can do it all or at least cover multiple duties, but EV's only have one benefit: refueling them is a lot cheaper than gas. You can call it dumb or irrational, but the customer is always right.
