I don't think you realize how scant charging is if you live in an urban area. No charger at most apartments, and your workplace might not even have parking. Amazon offices in Seattle are notorious for occupied chargers. "Then why have a car?" We like to drive out to the mountains on the weekend, frequently. So then we drive a lot on the weekend and barely get a chance to charge on a weekday. You might have to set aside several hours at a parking lot at a mall to charge it which quite a chore.
My Tacoma only has 380 mile range and I still get range anxiety sometimes with finding gas. RAV4 Prime with 600 mile range is the dream, but you can't buy them unless you pay $10k markup.
Driving a lot + urban (not suburban) living makes electric cars a tough sell.
