You’ll feel differentially if you ever travel a great distance somewhere, and spend some time there.
There exists a pretty good network of decent charging now on most main routes in North America for example. But it’s still the secondary areas that need work now. For 90% of your travels (more like 98% in our case), the home charger gets it done. But the whole charging infrastructure that we need is still not completely there yet.
We drove across the continent this summer. The drive back and forth across was surprisingly quiet and uneventful. But spending 4 weeks at my parents and at our in-laws, in a more rural town setting, was…painful. We have a mobile charger, but of course my in-laws didn’t have an outlet nearby, my parents do, but it wasn’t working. Our hometown has three public charging stations, all painfully slow (5+ hours). It made for a tough few weeks. Still doable, but I’d hardly call it convenient.
As for surveillance, that ship left the station a long time ago, and it’s not just EVs, it’s all vehicles. That’s a completely different topic though.
