Yes, electric cars are not viable unless you can charge at home. Meaning, in your garage / driveway.
This means they're not that useful for people who live in apartments, and most people who live in a city like SF and park on the street(*).
They're also not viable for road trips. Teslas can make it work but you still have to be willing for your trip to take 20 - 30% longer than it would with a gas car.
For people who have a garage or driveway, and don't need to take a road trip that often (or can own a second car for that purpose), they're fantastic! A better experience in almost every way compared to a gas car.
