I don’t see how this article isn’t cherry picked.

- How about those in cold climates where batteries don’t last nearly as long.

- upper middle-class and higher only? Most apartments don’t have hookups. Those that do don’t have enough for 10% of the residents. How many home have hookups? How many families have $10k laying around to install hookups?

Beyond the fact that it’s not reasonable at all for most Americans, no electrical grid would be able to handle it.

It takes 2 minutes to refill you car with petrol. Most people don’t have the patience to wait 4 hrs for a fillup.

Electric vehicles for near majority is not realistic at all right now.

At the moment, this is a “cool” novelty, but not an option for most.
